Witch Finger Breadsticks in 35 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Stir the sugar and yeast into warm water and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Combine flour and salt in a bowl; pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
3. Mix by hand or with a mixer until the dough is smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes).
4. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes to relax the gluten.
5. Roll the dough into a rectangle about ½ inch (1.2cm) thick.
6. Slice the dough into 18 equal strips, roughly 4 inches (10cm) long.
7. Roll each strip into a cylinder and use your thumb to press small indentations at two points to create knuckles.
8. Press one sliced almond firmly into the tip of each finger.
9. Mix the garlic powder into the melted butter; brush the mixture over each finger, focusing on the knuckles.
10. Sprinkle the Parmesan and oregano over the tops.
11. Bake at 400°F (204°C) for 12–15 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
12. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes to allow the structure to firm up.
