Biscuits GF

3 cups 1:1 gf flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon psyllium powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 package of rapid rise yeast
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1-1/2 cup warm water
1/4 cup olive oil
3 eggs - reserve one yolk for a wash on biscuits
a selection of various seeds if you so desire

Basically this is the same recipe for soft bread sticks patterned after Olive Garden. Mix first four ingredients. Place rapid rise yeast in a separate bowl and add sugar and warm water and let it bloom. Beat eggs but reserve one yolk for a wash on top of the biscuits. Add olive oil to egg mixture. When yeast is bloomed add eggs and olive oil mixture together. Next add all the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Let batter sit while you preheat your oven to 375 F. I've learned letting gf baking ingredients sit to hydrate for about half an hour before cooking really helps.

Drop by a tablespoon full onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush egg yolk mixed with a bit of water over the top to aid in browning and to help adhere any seeds you might use. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes and cool on a open grid rack. Makes about 20 biscuits. I highly recommend using the psyllium powder because it makes the texture more bread like than if you didn't use it. I purchased the psyllium powder at S&S Supplements and Smoothies in Blairsville.
