Breakfast Bread & Biscuit Basket Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Preheat the Oven

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it's hot enough for baking.

2. 2

   Mix Dry Ingredients

   In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of baking powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk them together until evenly combined.

3. 3

   Cut in the Butter

   Add 1 cup of unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, to the dry mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

4. 4

   Combine Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of milk, 2 large eggs, and 2 tablespoons of honey until well combined.

5. 5

   Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients

   Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix. Fold in 1 tablespoon of dried herbs and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

6. 6

   Shape the Dough

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and shape it into a rectangle about 1-inch thick. Cut into squares or triangles.

7. 7

   Bake the Biscuits

   Place the cut biscuits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

8. 8

   Serve Warm

   Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve warm in a basket with butter or honey on the side.
