I got this recipe from Doreen on here...And i'm unsure...do any of you know..when she mentions PAN..does she mean to cook it in a stone, or actually put the saute pan in the oven?


GARLIC BREAD

1/4 stick butter melted IF I MADE A SWEET DEMO
Pantry Italian Seasoning
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 package Pillsbury Grand Biscuits

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in Small Sauté Pan on stovetop, over medium heat—add ingredients, except biscuits, and sauté until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Using Utility Knife, or shears cut biscuits into quarters. Add all the biscuits to the pan, toss with butter mixture, immediately put in oven and bake 18-20 minutes.
 
When I make them I put the entire saute pan in the oven.
 
The recipe is in the Special Edition of CN. It's on page 18.
 
The whole point is putting the Saute Pan in the oven.

The back cover of my SECN has a 19. It looks like the page number. Sorry for the confusion.
 
If I'm serving these to a larger crowd I double the recipe and bake in the fluted stone.

Thanks..I ended up not doing it tonight....Chickened out..Was worried about my show going 'over the timeline'..but I am going to practice this ..on my family...first!
 
When I practiced this at home, All the biscuits didn't fit in the pan. They were stacked on top of eachother so I baked them anyway. The inside was still doughy after the timer went off.

Also, some recipes call for 1/4 stick while others call for a whole stick. Which is it?
 
If you double and do in the fluted pan, do you spray the inside w/the spritzer first? How long at what temp do you bake it?
 
Bump! I do want to know this as I am hoping to do this as a B recipe Sept 6th.
 
Hello , its me Doreen
Yes Sorry I meant the Saute pan , so that you can show off that it can go into the oven and how great it cleans up. But I have made it in a stone any size dependes on how many people you need to make it for I have even made it in a larger cookware pan . I would not put the dough on top of each other cause you are right it will not cook good , but you do need to cook it till it is very brown on top . most of the Pisbury doughs need to cook a bit longer to get really brown or they are doughy inside especilly when I make the Pepperoni pizza twist it needs to cook till its really really brown.
 
As far as the fluted pan YES YES YES pray it well
 
When I was at the beach with some friends, I made this as a triple recipe in a 9 x 13 pan (not stone). I melted a stick of butter and poured that in the bottom of the pan and added cinn/sugar. To flip it out I flipped it into another 9 x 13 pan and then put my icing on (I made the sweet version). I'm sure you could do it in the DDB and flip it onto the Round Platter.
