There’s the option of brushing (or not) the egg wash, which would result in shiny brown bread. Otherwise, just skip it overall.

Almond slices would be easiest to do, with recoloring by all means, but if you have some allergic, try to replace them with cracked chips, cheese slices, bell pepper…Just remember to adhere to these substitutions after baking with some mayo or so.

Since breadsticks are best to consume fresh, prepare this the same day as your party. You might reheat them once or so in the oven, but too many time would cost the freshness quality.

Another note is when cutting the roll of dough, irregular shapes will look more fun, so don’t try to be perfect. You can also shape them thinner on both end with some bulky in the mid for knuckle.

Shape your rolls like a finger.

The breadsticks when done, can be eaten as snacks or sides treat. You can also dip them in soup, like this slow cook pumpkin beef crockpot for a heartier flavor.
