Norma'S Bread
A savory bread featuring flaky biscuits baked in a buttery, golden crust, perfect for breakfast or as a comforting side dish for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the margarine or butter and pour it into a tube cake pan.
- Rotate the pan to cover the sides with margarine.
- Place the biscuits, standing on their sides, in the pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 30 minutes.
- Invert the pan onto a plate and separate the biscuits when cool enough to handle.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using unsalted butter instead of margarine. You can also experiment with adding herbs or spices to the melted butter for a savory twist. If you're short on time, substitute with refrigerated crescent rolls for a flaky alternative. To ensure even baking, make sure the biscuits are well-spaced in the pan and consider using a convection oven if available.
Serving Suggestions
Norma's Bread is perfect for breakfast or brunch, especially alongside an Oven Omelet Brunch(A Memorial Day Tradition). Serve it warm with butter, honey, or fruit preserves for added flavor. It also pairs well with soups or salads for a comforting meal. Add fresh fruit or a simple yogurt parfait on the side for a complete dining experience.
Storage & Reheating
To store leftovers, wrap the cooled bread tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it for up to a month. To reheat, simply place individual pieces in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds or warm them in a preheated oven at 350°F until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use frozen biscuits instead of canned ones?
Yes, you can use frozen biscuits! Just let them thaw slightly before placing them in the pan. Adjust the baking time as needed, possibly increasing it by a few minutes to ensure they are fully cooked through.
What can I do if I don't have a tube cake pan?
If you don't have a tube cake pan, a regular round cake pan or even a bundt pan can work as alternatives. Just ensure that the biscuits are arranged in a single layer and adjust the baking time accordingly to get an even bake.
How can I make this recipe healthier?
You can make this dish healthier by using My Low-Fat Biscuits instead of the regular buttermilk biscuits. Additionally, consider reducing the amount of butter or using a light butter alternative. Adding chopped vegetables or cheese can also boost the nutritional value while enhancing flavor.
