Okay, Let’s Talk Ingredients

Alright, picture us in the grocery store, grabbing stuff. Here’s what we need:

– 1 cup + 2 tablespoons warm water (like, not boiling hot, just cozy warm).
– 1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (don’t forget this or nothing’s gonna rise, lol).
– 2 tablespoons sugar (sweeten the deal, you know?).
– 1 ½ teaspoons salt (don’t skimp—it’s gotta be flavorful!).
– 3 tablespoons canola oil (or whatever oil you got hanging around).
– 3-3¼ cups flour (I usually start with 3, but sometimes I need more—just go with the flow!).
– 2 tablespoons melted butter (for that golden finish).
– ½ teaspoon garlic salt (because garlic is life).
– 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese (or a mountain—who’s counting?).
– Marinara sauce (for dipping, duh).

So Here’s Why I Make This Constantly

Okay, so real talk—these Breadstick Bones are a total game-changer in my kitchen. One time, I was having a mini Halloween party (just me and my cat, honestly) and I thought, “Let’s spice it up!” So I made these, and they were like the highlight of my night. I mean, my cat didn’t appreciate it (no bones for him!), but my friends? They went wild! Like, “OMG, these are SO cute and yummy!” And who doesn’t love a snack that doubles as decor? Win-win!

Another beautiful angle of the dish — *Just as gorgeous from this angle too!*

The One Trick That Changes Everything

Okay, here’s the secret sauce—well, it’s not sauce but you know what I mean. When you cut those little slits into the breadstick ropes, it’s all about how you twist them. You wanna roll each side in opposite directions to get that bone shape. It sounds tricky but trust me, it’s like making a pretzel but with a spookier vibe. Don’t stress it—just go for it!

Don’t Mess This Up (My Top Tips)

– Let the dough rise: Seriously, don’t skip this. It’s the magic that transforms your hard work into fluffy yumminess.
– Keep an eye on the oven: Bake for 12 minutes. Actually, start checking at 10 because nobody wants burnt bones, am I right?
– Brush them while they’re warm: The melted butter? It’s gotta go on hot breadsticks. It seeps in and makes everything better.

How to Keep Them From Disappearing (Or, How to Store Them)

So, if you somehow manage to have leftovers (which I doubt because they’re THAT good), let them cool completely. Then, pop ‘em in a ziplock bag or an airtight container. They’ll be fine for a couple of days, but honestly, they’re best fresh outta the oven. You could reheat them for a few minutes if you’re feeling fancy, but don’t microwave—just no!

If You Liked This, You’ll Probably Like These Too

– Cheesy Garlic Knots: Because who doesn’t love knots?
– Pumpkin Spice Muffins: A sweet little fall treat!
– Stuffed Mini Peppers: They’re like little boats of happiness.

So, what’s your go-to Halloween snack? I’m always looking for ideas! Hope you give these Breadstick Bones a try—let me know how they turn out! 🦴🍞

Instructions

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit until frothy.
Stir in salt, oil, and two cups of flour. Gradually add remaining flour until a soft dough forms. Knead until smooth, then place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for one hour.
Punch down the dough and divide it into 16 pieces. Roll each piece into a 12-inch rope and cut a slit on each side. Twist the sides to form a bone shape.
Arrange on a greased baking sheet, cover, and let rise for an additional 45 minutes to an hour.
Preheat the oven to 425°F during the last 10 minutes of rising. Bake for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle with garlic salt and parmesan before serving warm with marinara sauce.
