Celtic Knot Bread

a fun spin on rolls that hold some Celtic imagery. Celtic imagery always reminds me of the Dalish elves, even if this recipie isn't very celtic, just the shape of the bread.

Ingredients

Rolls

1 teaspoon sugar

3/4 cup warm water

2 1/4 teaspoons dry active dry yeast (or 1 package)

2 teaspoons olive oil

3/4 teaspoons salt

1 cup white whole wheat flour

3/4 cup all purpose flour

Garlic Scallion Butter

2 Tablespoons melted butter

1 scallion

1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

Instructions

In a medium bowl, mix sugar and water. Sprinkle with yeast and set aside for a few minutes while you gather the remaining ingredients.

Stir in the olive oil, salt, and both flours.

Knead for about 10 minutes, or until you have nice smooth elastic dough. Add a bit more flour or water if needed to get the right consistency.

Place dough in an oiled bowl and cover. Place in a warm place and let rise until doubled in size, about an hour.

Punch down the dough, then let rest for about 10 minutes. Then place it on a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle. Cut into 8 equal pieces. Roll those pieces into “snakes” about a foot long.

Shape each piece into a U. Then cross the ends, wrap the ends back over, and pinch them together. See the pictures above for a visual.

Pinch all of the places where the dough overlaps itself to secure and pinch the ends to give them the Celtic knot shape.

Place on baking sheets that have been greased or lined with baking mats. Cover with towels and allow to rise again for about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400°F.

Bake rolls for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, place melted butter, garlic salt, and chopped scallion in a small blender bowl and buzz for a couple of seconds.

When rolls are finished baking, brush with butter and serve warm.

We're backish!

This blog hasn't been updated since 2017, and I personally have never interacted with it, despite asking my friend for mod rights when I was playing dragon age.

But that's about to change! I have semi-recently gotten super into cooking with my partner, and as such I'd love to get involved in this blog again, especially since I'm getting back into themed blog content.

And here we go! I'll start with an introduction and a recipe I enjoy.

On here I go by Alioth, which is the name of my main Dragonage OC. I might share some stuff about his story here and my art of him occasionally as well, but this is mostly going to be a blog that shares recipes I enjoy. I've been playing dragon age for a long time and I've always felt a kinship with the Dalish, who simply resonated greatly with the experiences I had growing up different, especially in the context of my life where I was raised Christian, by a devout stepfather, and I am now (and have been for a very long time) very very pagan.

I enjoy being a ray of sunshine in people's lives, and while I'm far from perfect, I strive to be better every day so I can always do that for the people in my life. My favorite color is yellow, and I prefer to bake than cook, but I enjoy both. If you remember me from the old days of Tumblr, that's ok, but I'm a very different adult than I was sub-21. I hope you're willing to learn the new me. I'm 26, turning 27 in November, and my favorite animals are hyenas and cheetahs. Dingos get an honorable mention though.

I'm living in a Celtic region of the world these days and as such my inspiration for today's recipe is one I think is important to know (everyone who wants to cook should make bread) and also is a fun way to do so. I noticed a lot of Celtic imagery in the Dalish storylines in the game, so I have taken that into account (though not all my recipes will have specific inspirations, some just FEEL Dalish to me, and I will add those as well or I will quickly run out of recipes to put on this blog....) this recipe isn't mine, and I will therefore be linking the blog post I found it on here in this post, but for brevity's sake and just in case the blog is ever removed, I will also post the recipe as well as a picture of it here. In the future, I plan to add my own pictures, and I will always tag those pictures as my own. I will also add my own recipes, which I will also tag accordingly.

Today's recipe is Celtic Knot bread, which is fun and tasty. I will post it in another post so you guys don't have to dig through an introduction to find it!

Bonding With Each Element

Earth

Taking a walk in a park or forest

Planting

Picking flowers (though, not from other people’s gardens, of course)

Grounding, meditating, etc.

-The key is to surround yourself with nature, whether it be sounds of nature, or even getting into kitchen magic, which will involve herbs.

Air

Taking a stroll on a breezy day

Sitting in front of a fan (as an alternative to the above)

Anything creative (Dancing, singing, etc)

Divination (Smoke of an incense, crystal ball, taro/cartomancy, etc)

-The wind element is about expressing and realizing your creativity and talent. By doing this, you are bonding with the element.

Fire

Meditation with a lit candle

Drinking a cup of freshly brewed hot tea or coffee (don’t burn your mouth, now)

Activity that involves breaking a sweat (exercise, etc)

-Fire is about passion and anger, whether releasing that anger so it does not build up inside of you, or invoking a passion you have for something. This intensity will help you bond with the element.

Water

Taking a long shower or bath

Making Sun or Moon Water

Collecting Rain/Snow/Storm/Sea Water

Dream Magick: making peaceful sleep satchets, etc

-Water is about purification, love, and psychic awareness. Cleansing yourself daily, charging water for a specific use, and healing will help you bond with this element.
