HALLOWEEN WITCHES' FINGERS BREADSTICKS

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.
WITCH FINGER BREADSTICKS
These eerie breadsticks, made with store-bought pizza dough, get their flavor from Italian seasoning and sesame seeds. Turning each rope of dough in the middle forms a gnarly finger knuckle which, paired with a green olive "nail," helps to create a haunting and delicious appetizer!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
- Whisk the oil, Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl.
- Lightly flour a work surface and divide the dough into 10 equal portions with a bench scraper or chef's knife. Roll each portion into a 10-inch rope. Twist each rope in the middle and arrange on the prepared baking sheets. (Each twist will look like a gnarly witch knuckle.)
- Brush the breadsticks with the seasoned oil and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Firmly press an olive half on the end of each breadstick to stick to the dough. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

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.
