  2. Take your pound of pizza dough and place it on a lightly floured surface. Flatten the dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick and cut into strips roughly ½ inch wide.
  3. Roll each dough strip into finger-like shapes, elongating one end to resemble a pointed fingertip.
  4. Press an almond or pumpkin seed at the pointed end of each stick to resemble a fingernail.
  5. Beat one egg and brush a thin layer over each breadstick, then sprinkle with salt.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden-brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them as they bake.
  7. Allow the breadsticks to cool on a wire rack and drizzle with red food coloring if desired before serving.
