I thought it would be fun to make Celtic Knot Rolls for St. Patrick's Day. These rolls were a lot of fun to make.

Celtic Knot Rolls
They are soft and make fantastic dinner rolls to go with our favorite Crock Pot Corned Beef or Guinness Glazed Corned Beef and Cabbage!
I am sure there will also be a bit of Green Beer to go along with this meal.
Ingredients
- Hot Roll Mix
- Egg white
- Water
- Coarse salt
Equipment Needed
Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It makes it easy to mix ingredients and keeps the mixing bowl steady on the counter.
Pastry Brush- A pastry brush makes it easy to brush butter across the tops of these rolls.
Parchment Paper - I am a huge fan of using parchment paper to make clean up and serving so much easier.
Baking Sheet - I like to use baking sheets with sides so there is no way I can be clumsy and have the cookies slide right off into the oven {not that I want to admit that it has happened but I did learn my lesson.}
Heat resistant potholdersย - A couple of years ago we had a fire scare when we didn't realize we had turned a burner on and a cloth potholder caught fire. Thankfully we walked by the kitchen and saw the smoke and were able to get it out ourselves. Since then we have only used these heat-resistant potholders.
The hardest part of the recipe for me was getting the Celtic Knot shape.
I found that if I made a bow with the dough and connected the end I was able to achieve the Celtic Knot that I wanted for these rolls.
I made the dough rope as long as my cutting board. I found it easiest to make the dough the same thickness the entire length to get it to form into the Celtic Knot.
