I had bookmarked this bread stick bones recipes on my do to list for last Halloween. However last year I didn’t get enough time as my baby was around 9 ½ month old, and constantly demanding my attention. So this time I thought I will make bread stick bones. Fun part of Halloween is dressing and going for trick & treat. My kids are going to dress up but I am not taking them to trick treat. They will be handing over chocolates as trick-treaters come by. Further Halloween is coming on working day.

Halloween means spooky movies, trick treat and costumes. However both I and my hubby are not horror movie fans. I can’t watch them, if I watch I couldn’t sleep for entire night. Somebody needed to accompany me, if have to go to use the restroom in the night. If I am watching Indian Ghost movies, then even the ghost will start singing and dancing to songs. With its white sari and untied hair, I think I horror in that cases feels like a comedy.
Last post I mentioned about my experience towards bad bread sticks from PappaJohn’s. However I greatly enjoy the bread sticks from Pizza Hut. I even try tocreate their breadsticks at home and succeeded to an extent. I won’t say I beat them, still it tasted great. So when I decided to make bread stick bones, I don’t want to use the same recipe, and was finally inspired with this taste of home’s recipe for soft garlic bread sticks. I did not want to use entirely bread flour, as they tend to make the breads little chewy to our taste buds, and used a combination of bread flour and All Purpose flour. In the bread stick dough I used Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, marjoram, thyme, black pepper, rosemary along with fresh basil. My basil plant is growing really well, and I always think that I am going to make basil pesto, but that day has not yet come. So I decided to use it in my bread stick. I also used garlic and onion powder, and trust me I used every herbs and spices available in pantry to make it really herbed bread sticks.
I had to change the recipe as the original one is using bread machine, and I don’t have one in my hand. I made the dough with Kitchen Aid stand mixer and allowed it to ferment for 60 minutes to double. Then divided into two pieces and tried two different shaped bones. First one is adapted from serious eats and second shape is from here. I know it is not that spooky, but I tried my best to bring out my artist for making this bone shapes, it turned out be okay still needs lot of room for improvement Trust me they are delicious bread sticks even my son love to eat with marinara.
So if you are planning for a Halloween party in your backyard, you can try this. It is delicious not doubt about that. May be you can make them little more spooky by adding some marinara in the bones itself.
I am planning to make few spookier treat, so stay tuned for that. Here comes the recipe, you can also make them into normal shape as they are delicious.
