Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together Bisquick, cold water, and minced dry onions until a dough forms.
- Place the dough in a greased pan or cookie sheet and shape into an oblong about an inch thick and 8 to 9 inches long.
- Brush the top with softened butter.
- Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or garlic powder to the dough. If you don’t have Bisquick, you can substitute with a homemade baking mix. Just ensure to maintain the right ratio of flour, baking powder, and salt. Brush with garlic butter instead of plain butter for a savory twist, which complements the bread perfectly.
