Water, Olive Oil, and Honey
To make the dough, you'll also need warm water, olive oil, and honey. The water should be warm but not boiling, as this will help activate the yeast. The olive oil and honey will add moisture and a touch of sweetness to the dough.
Almond Slices and Green Food Coloring
For the finishing touch, you'll need almond slices and green food coloring. These will be used to create the creepy and realistic witch's finger nails. You can also use black olives or pumpkin seeds for a nut-free option.
Directions for Making the Dough
Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and yeast. Mix them together until well combined.
Add the Wet Ingredients
Next, add the warm water, olive oil, and honey to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more water. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour.
Knead the Dough
On a floured surface, knead the dough for about 5 minutes. This will help develop the gluten and create a smoother texture.
Let the Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a towel. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
Assembling the Witch's Fingers
Divide the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 16 equal portions. Roll each portion into a thin log, about 6 inches long.
Add the Almond Nails
Press an almond slice into the end of each log to create a fingernail.
Add the Creepy Details
Using a knife, make small cuts in the dough to create knuckles and wrinkles. You can also use your fingers to pinch and shape the dough to make it look more realistic.
Add Some Color
In a small bowl, mix a few drops of green food coloring with a little water. Use a brush to paint the dough, making it look like it's rotting and decaying.
Bake and Serve
Bake the breadsticks in a preheated oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
