you like best.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
16 almonds
1 bottle natural red food coloring
1 small new paint brush
1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon instant yeast
3/4 cup water
1 tablespoon Henry’s Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4 cups organic bread flour, plus extra for work surface
1 teaspoon salt
1 Henry’s Large Egg, beaten
Nonstick cooking spray
8 sticks of string cheese, cut in half
3 tablespoons Henry’s Organic Butter, melted
1 jar Henry’s Organic Marinara Sauce, heated
DIRECTIONS
Bring one-cup water to a boil. Add almonds and blanch for one minute. Remove
from heat and place on a towel. Take another towel and rub off the skins. Place
a couple drops of food coloring in a small bowl, and using the paintbrush paint
each almond red. Place on wax paper to dry.
Mix yeast with water in a glass bowl or 2-cup measuring cup. Let stand about 5
minutes. Add enough water to equal 1 cup water total. Stir in oil. Place flour
and salt in food processor. Pulse to mix. Slowly add liquid while processor is
running. Once the dough forms a ball, process for an additional 30 seconds.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for about 5 minutes. Place
in oiled bowl, and cover and let rise for 2 hours. Punch dough down and divide
into two balls. Take one ball and roll into an eight inch strand. Cut into 8
pieces. Roll out each piece so it is 5 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place a
piece of string cheese on dough and roll to form a "finger-like" shape. The
gnarlier, the better!
Mix egg with 2 tablespoons water. Brush edges of dough with egg wash, to form a
seal. Press an almond at one end as the fingernail. Use a knife and gently
press into the "finger" to create "knuckles." Place competed fingers on baking
sheet sprayed lightly with cooking spray. Repeat with rest of dough until it is
all used.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Brush fingers with melted butter. Bake for 15
minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and serve with marinara sauce.
