'Game of Thrones' Themed Food

If you are hosting people at your place for the new episode of 'Game of Thrones' this Sunday, I highly suggest checking out the website Inn at the Crossroads for great 'Game of Thrones' themed recipes. I made bread and salt for a viewing party last season, and it was a huge hit. If you are interested in making two loaves, here is the link to the recipe. I have step-by-step directions below on how to make just one: 

Ingredients

2 ½ cups of all purpose flour
¼ cup of white sugar
1 teaspoon of salt
1 package of active dry yeast (7 grams)
½ cup plus two tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of milk (room temperature)
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter
3 eggs (one to crack open to make dough, one to bake whole into the bread, one to use for the glaze)


Directions
1) combine flour (not all, just 1½ cups of it), sugar, salt and yeast in a medium sized bowl

make sure you don't accidentally use self-rising flour

2) melt the butter (can be done in the microwave) and then mix it with the milk in a small bowl

I used 2%, but 1% should be fine

3) let the butter and milk mixture sit for five minutes
4) slowly add the milk and butter to the flour mixture while stirring
5) add one egg and stir
6) slowly add remaining flour (1 cup) and stir
7) put some flour on your table and knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic (about 4 minutes)
8) lightly grease a large bowl with butter

you can also use vegetable oil to grease the bowl

9) place dough in the bowl, and then cover it using saran or cling wrap.
10) put the bowl in a warm place (on a window sill or in the oven under the light) until it doubles in size (about an hour)

I had to get creative with my heat source

11) punch down the dough and bring it to a lightly floured surface
12) divide the dough into three equal size rounds ( I recommend using a scale to measure out the pieces)
13) cover the pieces (using clear wrap or just a cloth) and let rest for 10 minutes

this method works fine too

14) use a rolling pin to roll each of the pieces into long rolls that are about 1 ½ inches thick
15) create a loose braid
16) form the braid into a round, tucking the end of the braids underneath the dough

it's very similar to making Challah

17) lightly grease the whole egg (vegetable oil or butter)
18) put the egg into the loaf (about halfway in)
19) line a baking tray with parchment paper
20) put dough on baking sheet and cover it with saran/cling wrap and let it rise until it doubles (about 45 minutes)
21) preheat oven to 350 degrees
22) beat one egg

if you don't have a whisk, a fork works fine

23) brush the dough with the beaten egg

if you don't have a pastry brush, simply use a spoon

24) place in oven and let cook until dark golden (about 45 minutes-50 minutes)

25) after the loaf has cooled, take out the egg and fill the hole with salt (regular or kosher)
