Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife
  • Pastry brush

Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough or homemade
  • 20 slivered almonds for fingernails
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  • Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 20 thin strips.
  • Shape each strip into a finger-like shape, pinching one end to create a knobby “knuckle” and pressing a slivered almond into the other end for the “fingernail.”
  • Arrange the breadsticks on the baking sheet.
  • Brush each breadstick with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

Notes

You can use homemade pizza dough for a more rustic texture, and feel free to add sesame or poppy seeds for an extra crunch. If you don’t have almonds, you can substitute them with pumpkin seeds for a more natural look.
