Bread hack: adding our marinated olives to your dough is one of the easiest ways to add a burst of flavor. These savory biscuits bake up golden with Buffalo Blue Olives folded into every bite.
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 c all purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tbsp baking powder
1/2 tsp kosher salt
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 c buttermilk or regular milk, cold
1 c Divina Buffalo Blue Olives
1/2 c pepperoni (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 475°F. Position an oven rack in the top third of the oven.
- Drain the Buffalo Blue Olives and roughly chop or slice them. If using pepperoni, chop or slice it as well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Using your fingers or a fork, cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles small pebbles. Add the buttermilk and gently mix until a rough dough forms. Fold in the chopped Buffalo Blue Olives and pepperoni, if using. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and gently gather it into a 1-inch thick square.
- Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut as many rounds as the dough allows. Gather the scraps once, reform, and cut additional biscuits. You should have about 12 biscuits.
- Place the biscuits on a small rimmed baking sheet so they touch each other. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve and enjoy.
