This week we were all about finding a Game of Thrones recipe to match the main topic on the Pop Culture episode. Check out that ep here and enjoy our take on making bread Hot Pie would be proud of!
HADAS: SCONES
Expertise: Noob. I’m really bad at baking.
Ease: Super easy, but if it didn’t taste good does that mean something?
Customizing: I made a dragon instead of a direwolf! Instead of milk I used orange juice.
Repeatability: Um. Maybe not a shaped version. I think I added too much flour which is why it became inedible. The middle part tasted ok.
Charee: FLATBREAD
Expertise: intermediate baker, but never bread!
Ease: The steps weren’t hard to follow but my bread doesn’t look like the one in the picture. It came out a little thick.
Customizing: I didn’t make the hummus because I have never tried hummus before and didn’t want my creation to be the first time. I paired my bread with cheese and apples, and drizzled honey on top.

Melissa’s Nutritional Tidbit: Charee’s flatbread looks delicious, but she can definitely modify the recipe to add a healthier dimension to it. You can substitute 1/2 of the amount of flour for whole wheat flour to add some fiber, vitamins, and minerals. I have also started to add ground flaxseed to most of my dishes (if possible) to add fiber, lignans, and omega-3’s. You can add two tablespoons to your bread mix before baking and mix it in.
Ground flaxseed is incredibly healthy. Lignans, found in flaxseed, are phytochemicals that can reduce the risk of cancer. Though actual flaxseed doesn’t taste too good, when mixed into your dishes, you don’t taste a thing and you still reep the benefits! However, in order to reep the health benefits, the flaxseed must be ground. You can find ground flaxseed in your local grocery stores.
