Brimstone Bread - Spooky Treats

1 box Fleischmann's Simply Homemade Bread Mix

1-2 tsp red food coloring

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Prepare bread according to package directions, but make sure to add red food coloring to the warm water prior to adding it to the dry bread mix.

Cut dough into 12 pieces, roll into balls, and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Cover with a damp towel and let rise according to package directions. While the rolls rise, prepare to topping.

2 T dry active yeast
2 T sugar
2 T vegetable oil
1/2 t salt
1 1/2 cups rice flour
1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees) with black food coloring

Mix yeast, sugar, oil, salt and rice flour together. Mix black food coloring into warm water and add to the flour mixture. Make sure the topping is very black by adding more black food coloring if needed. I used gel food coloring and it worked very well. The topping will be sticky but still fluid enough to drip of the end of a spoon.

Using your hands, smear topping on rolls. Make sure to spread the topping fairly thick so that it forms the cracks when baked. Let the topping sit for 15 minutes to adhere to the bread dough and then bake according to package directions. Right out of the oven, slice open and slather on some garlic butter and devour!
