With its bright green color and shredded cheese that looks like hair, you'll think you really are eating a witch's hairy finger! These taste best when served right out of the oven because the cheese is still warm and soft. Don't forget the marinara dipping sauce! Ingredients:
3 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup warm milk (110° to 115°) |
1 egg |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
1 tablespoon sugar |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon green food coloring |
2 to 2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 egg white, lightly beaten |
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
1/3 cup sliced almonds |
marinara or spaghetti sauce |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the milk, egg, grated cheese, butter, sugar, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, food coloring and 1 cup flour. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Punch dough down; let stand for 10 minutes. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a 10-in. rope. Cut in half. Place 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.
4. Brush egg white over breadsticks; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Place an almond slice at the tip of each. Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm with marinara sauce. Yield: 32 breadsticks.
