HALLOWEEN WITCHES' FINGERS BREADSTICKS



Halloween Witches' Fingers Breadsticks image

Witch finger will you eat first? Here are two ways to make delightfully creepy witches' fingers breadsticks - use either sliced almonds for the gnarly fingernail or go for bell pepper for a nut-free version. Mani-pedi, anyone?

Provided by Kare for Kitchen Treaty

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

One roll of refrigerated soft breadsticks dough (I usually buy Pillsbury soft breadsticks)
1 large egg (beaten (optional))
Marinara sauce or pizza sauce for serving/dipping (optional)
Sliced almonds
OR
Red and green bell peppers (cut into narrow 1-inch triangles -and-)
About 1/4 cup cream cheese or vegan cream cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit, or, if the temperature on your package of refrigerated breadstick dough indicates a different temperature, follow the temperature on the package. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat.
  • Unroll the breadsticks onto a large cutting board (or your counter or wherever you like to do doughy things).
  • Using a pizza cutter, slice each breadstick in half vertically and again horizontally. Each breadstick should be about 3-4 inches long and 1/2-inch to 1 inch wide, but perfection is highly discouraged! The more rustic the more realistic. :)
  • Roll the dough a bit to round it a bit/give it more of a finger shape. Lay it on the baking sheet.
  • Using your thumb, press down on the narrowest tip of each breadstick. If using almonds, press a sliced almond onto each tip. If using bell peppers, you'll add them AFTER the breadsticks have baked.
  • Now, you have a couple of options. You can grab the pizza cutter or a bread knife and press a three or four horizontal lines into the middle of the breadstick so it'll look a bit like a knuckle. And/or, if desired, brush lightly with egg. This will give them a slightly shinier and more golden appearance. Or skip those steps and just stick 'em in the oven already!
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, until puffy and starting to brown on the top. But again, if the label on your breadsticks indicates a different time, I recommend going by that time and just checking them often.
  • Let cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • If adding bell pepper for the fingernails, after they've cooled, dab the tip with a bit of cream cheese and stick the bell pepper on. You may want to dry the pepper off with a paper towel so it will adhere better.
  • Arrange on a plate or in mini mason jars filled with marinara or pizza sauce. Bloooody!
  • Almond-tipped fingers keep in an airtight container at room temperature for several days. Because of the cream cheese and cut pepper, I recommend storing that version in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Choose the right puff pastry dough: For the best results, use a high-quality puff pastry dough that is made with all-natural ingredients. Avoid using dough that contains preservatives or artificial flavors.
  • Keep the dough cold: Puff pastry dough is very sensitive to temperature, so it is important to keep it cold at all times. Work with the dough quickly and keep it refrigerated until you are ready to use it.
  • Use sharp knives: When cutting the dough, use a sharp knife to ensure that you get clean, even cuts. A dull knife will tear the dough and make it difficult to shape the breadsticks.
  • Bake the breadsticks until they are golden brown: The breadsticks should be baked until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a delicious flavor.
  • Serve the breadsticks warm: The breadsticks are best served warm, so they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. You can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

These Halloween Witches' Fingers Breadsticks are a fun and easy way to celebrate Halloween. They are made with simple ingredients and can be shaped in any way you like.
