🧙‍♀️ What Are Witch’s Finger Breadsticks?

Witch’s Finger Breadsticks are soft, golden breadsticks molded into the shape of fingers, complete with almond slices for fingernails and knuckle wrinkles made with a knife.

They have a buttery, garlicky flavor and a perfectly eerie look that fits right into any Halloween menu.

🍞 Ingredients

• 1 can refrigerated pizza or breadstick dough

• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

• 12 whole blanched almonds (for fingernails)

• Red food coloring or ketchup (for “bloody” detail)

• Flour, for dusting

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut it into 12 equal strips.

Shape the fingers. Roll each strip into a thin log about 4–5 inches long. Pinch slightly in the middle and at both ends to create finger joints.

Add details. Use a knife to make small lines across the dough to mimic wrinkles.

Attach the nails. Press a blanched almond at one end of each finger to resemble a nail.

Brush with butter. Combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning, then brush over the dough.

Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown.

Add spooky flair. Once baked, dab a little red food coloring or ketchup at the base of each finger for a gory, Halloween touch.

🕸️ Tips & Variations

• Cheesy Version: Sprinkle grated Parmesan or mozzarella before baking for a savory twist.

• Spooky Dip: Serve with marinara or beet hummus for a “bloody” dipping sauce.

• Make-Ahead: Prepare and shape the fingers a few hours early; bake right before serving.
