Witch Finger Garlic Breadsticks
Equipment
- Baking sheet
- Mixing bowl
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 whole almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Divide the pizza dough into 12 equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin finger shape about 5 inches long.
- Place the shaped dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet and press one almond into the tip of each piece to form a fingernail.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the breadsticks turn golden brown.
- While the breadsticks bake, stir the melted butter, minced garlic, chopped parsley, Parmesan cheese, and salt together in a small bowl.
- Remove the breadsticks from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic butter mixture.
Notes
Shape the dough slightly thicker at the base and tapered at the tip for a more natural finger look. Brush the garlic butter on right after baking so it soaks into the warm crust. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in a 350-degree oven for five minutes to restore crispness. Skip the Parmesan if you prefer a milder garlic flavor.
