Creating Witch’s Fingers Breadsticks can be a delightful adventure. Follow these simple steps to craft your spooky treats:

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, and dried rosemary.
3. Combine Mixtures: Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough begins to form.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes until it doubles in size.
6. Preheat Oven: During the last 10 minutes of rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. Shape the Fingers: Once risen, punch down the dough. Divide it into 10 equal portions. Roll each piece into a finger shape, tapering one end for the “finger tip.”
8. Add Almonds: Press a whole almond into the tapered end of each finger to resemble a nail.
9. Prepare for Baking: Place the shaped breadsticks on a lined baking sheet. In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over each finger to give them a glossy finish.
10. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
11. Cool: Allow the Witch’s Fingers Breadsticks to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Following these steps will ensure you create an extraordinary and spooky treat effortlessly!
