Bready or Not: Spooky Sandwiches for Halloween!

 We’ve been raising the dead (and our dough) to bring you some frightfully fun baking ideas that’ll make your kids smile when they open their lunchbox this Halloween.

Using our Simple Yeasted Loaf recipe we added a ghoulish twist, a heaped teaspoon of Farina di Carbone to turn our loaf jet black and perfect for spooky creations.

We also baked our Sourdough Recipe for Beginners and used a cobweb stencil and a sprinkle of carbon powder for eerie effects on top.

You can go full monster maker and carve out pumpkin faces, ghosts and grins. Fill your spooky slices with red Leicester for glowing “jack-o’-lantern” smiles or cream cheese and cherry tomato “eyes” for ghostly giggles.

Another simple recipe and one that is even fun to get the kids involved in baking is our fun twist on Fougasse... "BooGasse".

This simple French bread that was used to test the heat of your oven can be given a fright-night makeover to create eerie faces with ease.

If you want to conjure up something sweeter then have a look at Pip's Halloween Chocolate Muffins topped with choclatey cobwebs.

With no tricks, just treats this Halloween (and maybe a bit of a rise from the undead dough), there's no reason not to whip up boo-tiful  breads or a wickedly good sandWITCH .
