Ingredients
3-1/2 cups bread flour2 tablespoons sugar1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast1-1/4 teaspoons salt1 teaspoon baking powder1/2 teaspoon baking soda1 cup buttermilk1/2 cup canola oil1/3 cup waterMelted butter
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, salt, baking powder and baking soda. In a small saucepan, heat the buttermilk, oil and water to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter. Place on a greased baking sheet.
Bake until golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Brush tops with butter. Remove from pan to a wire rack to cool.
