Garlic Cheesy Biscuits

2/3 Cup Soy Milk
2 Tablespoons of Nutritional Yeast
1/2 Cup of cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/4 Cup of Olive Oil
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Garlic (minced)

Heat oven to 450.

In a bowl, mix Bisquick Mix, Soy Milk and Nutritional Yeast with a hand held mixer until completely mixed. Stir in Daiya Cheese with a spoon
On an ungreased cookie sheet, drop spoon-sized clumps. They won't be pretty, but it’s important that they don't get too thick or they won't bake all the way through.

Bake for around 8-10 minutes. Keep an eye on them. They bake FAST. Pull out once they’re golden
In a bowl, mix Olive Oil, Garlic Powder, Minced Garlic, Dill, Rosemary and Thyme. Once you pull out the biscuits, brush with the herbed Olive Oil

Hugs and Kisses

2 cups Bisquick
1/3 cup of milk
2 TBSP of sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Granulated sugar or colored sugar, if desired

Heat oven to 400°F. Stir Bisquick mix, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar and the egg in medium bowl until soft dough forms. Place dough on surface generously dusted with Bisquick mix; gently roll in Bisquick mix to coat. Shape into a ball; knead 5 times.
Roll or pat dough into 6 1/2-inch square, 1/2 inch thick. Cut dough into 12 strips. Shape 6 strips into circles to make O shapes; pinch ends to secure. Cut remaining 6 strips crosswise in half; crisscross pairs of strips to make X shapes. (Or use X- and O-shaped cookie cutters dipped in Bisquick mix.) Place hugs and kisses on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown. Immediately brush with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Serve warm.

Roll each half into a 12 inch circle, spread 1/4 cup softened butter over entire round. Cut each circle into 8 wedges. Roll wedges starting at wide end; roll gently but tightly. Place point side down on ungreased cookie sheet. Cover with clean kitchen towel and put in a warm place, let rise 1 hour.

Croatian Provitica

Traditional Filling

1 lb finely ground walnuts
2 eggs
2 cups milk
1 cup sugar
1 cup honey
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Dough

1 package dry yeast

2 tablespoons warm water

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1/2 cup melted butter

1/2 cup sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup boiling water

2 eggs, beaten

5 cups flour

Directions

Combine filling ingredients in a heavy saucepan.  Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the mixture for about 30 minutes or until the mixture is fairly thick (remember this will be the filling inside the bread and it shouldn't be runny) Let cool.  In a large heated bowl, combine yeast, warm water and 1/2 tsp. sugar.  Stir until yeast is dissolved.  Set in a warm place for about 5 minutes, until foamy.  Combine 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter and salt.  Add boiling water, stir and cool until lukewarm.  Add this mixture to yeast.  Stir in beaten eggs and add flour gradually.  Turn out onto a floured board and knead about 5 minutes. Do not over flour this it should be softer than regular bread dough.  Place in a greased bowl, cover and set in a warm place to rise until double in bulk. Put dough in center of a lightly floured work table and roll out as thin as possible with a rolling pin, maintaining a square or rectangle shape.  The thinner you are able to roll the dough the better this will turn out.  Spread the pulled dough evenly with the prepared filling.  Roll up the provitica as for a jelly roll.  Cut roll in half and place each half into a greased bread pan two inches deep and form it into an"S" shape.  Tuck in the ends and flatten it a little.  Cover and let raise for 2-1/2 hours in a warm place.  Bake in a preheated oven at 375° for 10 minutes, then reduce to 350° for 50 minutes until nicely browned.  Cool in pan for 30 minutes then remove from pan and finish cooling on wire rack alternate fillings could be your favorite fruit cooked down with sugar into almost a jam, cream cheese mixed with egg and powdered sugar or even your favorite pumpkin pie filling.
