Well I’ll be warding off the vampires tonight, for sure! I have discovered a recipe that makes me look like an artisan bread maker, and it involves roasted garlic. The author of the cookbook (cited in the recipe) has actually served as chef to Queen Elizabeth, which makes me feel even more accomplished in light of how the bread turned out.

This recipe calls for rolling bits of dough into long fingers, spreading roasted garlic puree on top, and tying the fingers into knots reminiscent of soft pretzels. The risen knots are then brushed with an egg wash and baked into rolls with that flaky yet chewy texture that I have never before been able to accomplish. And not only that, tonight is the third time I have repeated the recipe, with stellar results each time.
