Biscuit Mix Bread
Enjoy a rustic, crusty bread made from biscuit mix, perfect for outdoor grilling and casual gatherings. Simple, quick, and satisfying for any bread lover.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Bisquick or Biscuit Mix
- 1/2 cup water ⓘ
Instructions
- Add just enough water to the biscuit mix to form a workable dough.
- Knead the dough a few times to blend well.
- Shape the dough into a loaf.
- Dust the loaf with flour.
- Place the loaf on a well-greased heavy-duty foil sheet and wrap, leaving room for expansion.
- Make a small hole in the foil for steam to escape.
- Place the wrapped dough on the grill over the edge of hot coals.
- Turn the package every 5 minutes during cooking.
- Check for doneness by poking a straw through the foil; bread is ready when it comes out clean, approximately 15 minutes.
- In the last 3 minutes, place the bread in the middle of the grill for a crunchy crust.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful bread, consider adding herbs or spices to the biscuit mix, such as garlic powder or dried oregano. If you don't have Bisquick, a homemade biscuit mix can be made using flour, baking powder, salt, and shortening. If the dough feels too sticky, add a bit more flour until it reaches a workable consistency.
Serving Suggestions
This biscuit mix bread is perfect for serving alongside soups or stews, such as Vegetarian Chili(Quick And Easy Tempeh Chili). Slice it while warm and spread with butter or your favorite jam. For a complete meal, pair it with a fresh salad, like Fruit And Honey Spinach Salad, for a refreshing contrast.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month. To reheat, simply place the bread in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use whole wheat biscuit mix instead of regular?
Yes, whole wheat biscuit mix can be used in place of regular Bisquick, but it may result in a denser texture. You might need to adjust the water amount slightly, as whole wheat flour absorbs more liquid.
How can I make this bread sweeter?
To add sweetness, consider mixing in a tablespoon of sugar or honey into the dough. You could also top the bread with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar before wrapping it for a sweet twist.
What should I do if my bread is undercooked?
If the bread seems undercooked after the initial cooking time, simply wrap it back up in the foil and return it to the grill for an additional 5 minutes. Check again for doneness with a straw.
