Ingredients in Garlic Bread Biscuits

You don’t need a lot to make something really special. Here’s what brings these biscuits to life:

All-Purpose Flour: The base of our biscuit dough, giving structure and softness.

Baking Powder: Adds that lift we need for light, fluffy layers.

Butter: Cold, cubed, and ready to melt into delicious flakiness. Adds richness and flavor.

Milk or Buttermilk: Keeps the biscuits moist and tender. Buttermilk gives a little tang if you’ve got it.

Garlic (Fresh or Powder): The star of the show—brings bold, aromatic flavor.

Parsley or Mixed Herbs: Adds freshness and a pop of color. Dried or fresh both work!

Parmesan Cheese (Optional): For extra savory depth and that slight cheesy edge.

Salt: Just enough to bring everything together.

Garlic Butter for Brushing: Because more garlic is always the answer.

Instructions

Preheat Your Equipment

Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Add in the garlic, herbs, and cheese (if using). Stir in the milk until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix!

Prepare Your Cooking Vessel

Get your baking sheet ready with parchment or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Assemble the Dish

Scoop the dough into rough mounds using a large spoon or cookie scoop. Space them out on the baking sheet so they have room to rise.

Cook to Perfection

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the biscuits feel firm to the touch.

Finishing Touches

While the biscuits are still hot, brush them generously with melted garlic butter. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt or more herbs if you’re feeling fancy.

Serve and Enjoy

Serve warm and fresh from the oven. Perfect alongside your favorite dinner—or sneak one for a cozy snack moment.
