Best Whole Wheat Yeast Biscuits Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT YEAST RISEN BISCUITS

Steps:

• 1. Dissolve the yeast in the warm water and set aside while preparing flour mix.
• 2. Stir/sift together the flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
• 3. Stir the melted butter into the buttermilk until smooth.
• 4. Make a well in the dry ingredients, and pour the yeast and the buttermilk mixture into the well. Stir together with a rubber spatula until it forms a soft sticky ball of dough.
• 5. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough about 12 - 15 strokes, working in a minimal amount of extra flour.
• 6. Roll dough out 1/2" thick. Cut little biscuits with a small 2" cutter, and arrange with sides touching on a baking stone or biscuit pan. Cover with a clean towel and let rise for 30 minutes.
• 7. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375 degrees. When biscuits have risen for 30 minutes, bake them about 14 - 17 minutes, until browned on top. May brush with melted butter or cream when done for extremely soft tops.
