Drop Biscuits
Winner: Best Use of Whole Meal Bread

Preheat oven to 425 F

1 1/2 cup of Toro Whole Meal Bread Mix
1/2 cup of corn starch
2 tsp xantham gum
1 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup milk, soy milk or rice milk
2 large eggs

1. Grease cookie sheet well.

2. In medium size bowl, add the dry ingredients and mix well with a fork. Set aside.

3. In a large bowl, blend in the butter, milk and egg until well blended. Add the dry ingredients and blend the dough until well blended. Mixture will be sticky.

4. Dip spoon in water and drop dough onto cookie sheet leaving enough room for biscuits to rise and spread while baking. (I use a cookie/ ice cream spoon with a release. Forming a 1 inch drop biscuit seems to bake the best.)

5. Bake in pre-heated 425 F oven for 12 - 20 minutes depending on the size of the biscuits. Biscuits are done when they have a nice brown look on the top.

6. Cool and enjoy.

Savory Cheese Pull Apart Rolls
Grand Prize Winner

1 package Toro Whole Meal Bread Mix
1 packet (1/4 oz.) active dry yeast
1 2/3 cup lukewarm milk
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt. Combine in bowl.
4 tablespoons melted butter.

Brush Bundt pan interior with the melted butter. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, yeast and milk in stand mixer's bowl. Mix at high speed for 3-4 minutes.

Using an ice cream scoop or 2 tablespoons, gather balls of dough. Drop each ball into cheese mixture, rolling to cover all sides. Place the balls into the Bundt pan, in a single layer. Top with 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture. Continue to create balls of dough, roll in cheese mixture and place in valleys between the balls for second layer in pan.

Continue this way till dough is used up. Top with any remaining cheese.

Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 20-25 minutes. Bake on center shelf of oven for 30-35 minutes or till crust is golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes then turn out onto platter.

Serve with tongs to pull apart rolls. Spices can be changed to better reflect other components of meal e.g. chili powder, tarragon or dill.
