Halloween Special – Bare Boned Breadsticks Recipe

Prep Time: 40 mins

Cook Time: 10-15 mins

Servings: Makes approx. 10

Ingredients

• 3 ½-4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tbsp. instant yeast
• 1 tbsp. sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 ½ cups warm water
• ¼ cup nondairy butter (for greasing the pan and coating the
bones)

Instructions

I. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

II. In a mixing bowl dissolve, the yeast into warm water. Allow a few minutes for the yeast to activate.

III. Using a stand mixer with a bread dough attachment, combine flour, sugar and salt (or mix well by hand).

IV. Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture and stir together.

V. Knead for 3 minutes on slow speed in a stand mixture then let it rest for 10 minutes covered with a kitchen towel. If you are mixing by hand knead for 10 minutes.

VI. Melt the nondairy butter and spread half of the nondairy butter onto a baking sheet.

VII. Lightly sprinkle some flour on to your work surface and roll out the dough. Work the dough into a rectangle about the same size as your baking sheet.

VIII. Use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into one-inch-wide strips. Split each end of the dough strips to about 1 inch on both sides of each piece. This will be the ends of the bones.

IX. Roll and curl each end piece outward to give the breadstick a captivating bone look. (Don’t worry about it looking perfect, bones are supposed to look odd and quirky so have fun with this!)

X. Place each breadstick on the buttered baking sheet and brush the tops of the breadsticks with the remaining melted nondairy butter. The more nondairy butter the better right?!

XI. Optional step – sprinkle each bone with garlic salt.

XII. Let the bones rise for about 10 minutes before baking.

XIII. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, until the edges begin to turn golden brown.

XIV. Once cooled, chow done on these drooling temptations and serve with your choice of devilish dipping sauce.
