Provolone And Olive Biscuits Recipes

PROVOLONE AND OLIVE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°. Stir together flour, baking powder and salt in large bowl. Cut in butter and cheese, using pastry blender or crisscrossing 2 knives, until mixture looks like coarse crumbs. Stir in olives and buttermilk just until moistened and soft dough forms.
• Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 5 or 6 times. Roll or pat dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut with 2 1/2-inch biscuit cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown. Serve warm.

OLIVE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. Position an oven rack so it is in the top third of the oven.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt to a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Stir in the olives. Using your fingers or a fork, cut the mascarpone into the flour mixture until it resembles small pebbles in the flour. Add the buttermilk and gently mix until a rough dough is formed. (Do not overmix.) Pour the mixture onto a lightly floured surface and gently gather into a 1-inch-thick square. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut as many rounds as your square will allow. Gather the scraps once, reform and cut a few more. (You will have about 12 biscuits.) Place on a small rimmed baking sheet so that the biscuits touch each other. Bake in the top third of the oven until light golden brown and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve with orange marmalade and softened salted butter on the side, if using.

OLIVE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer, cream the butter until it is soft and pale yellow. Mix in the sugar until blended, then drizzle in the olive oil and mix until combined. Add the flour and mix gently but thoroughly until the dough is smooth, then add the olives and mix until they are thoroughly incorporated into the dough.
• Place a piece of waxed or parchment paper on a work surface, and place the dough in the middle. Cover it with another piece of waxed paper or parchment paper and roll out the dough until it is about 1/4-inch thick (the dough is very sticky, and the paper makes it possible to roll out). Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes, and up to 24 hours.
• Cut out 2-inch rounds of dough and place them about 1/2 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets. Gather the trimmings into a ball and roll it into a 1-inch diameter log. Wrap well and refrigerate, and when you are ready to bake, cut off 1/4-inch thick rounds (this avoids over-rolling the dough).
• Bake until the scourtins are golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on wire racks.

SAGE, GARLIC AND PROVOLONE BISCUITS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• In medium bowl, stir Bisquick mix, sage, garlic powder and 1 cup of the cheese until well blended. Add buttermilk; stir until soft dough forms.
• Place dough on surface sprinkled with Bisquick mix; knead 8 to 10 times. Press into baking dish. Cut into 4 squares, then cut each square diagonally into 2 triangles.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.
