Biscuits will be crisp on the outside and flaky in the center if you roll the dough thin and fold it over once before cutting out biscuits. They'll also split open easily when you're ready to butter them.
If you want soft-sided biscuits, bake them in a pan with sides and put the biscuits close together
If you want crusty biscuits, bake them on a cookie sheet and place them apart from each other.
For a light, tender crust when baking bread, use very hot water and stir only 20 times. Stirring the dough too much will make the crust tough
When thawing frozen bread dough, place in a brown paper bag and put into a 325ºF oven for 5 minutes to thaw completely |
