The Complete Guide to Mastering Baked French Dip Biscuits

Storage and Reheating:

To store leftover biscuits, place them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When reheating, do so in the oven to restore crispiness rather than microwaving, which can make them tough.

Quality of Ingredients:

Using quality ingredients, especially for the roast beef and cheese, can significantly enhance the flavor of the finished dish. Opt for fresh, high-quality items to elevate your baked biscuits.

Garnishing:

Garnishing with fresh herbs like parsley adds a pop of color and freshness. It also provides a visual appeal that elevates the dish, making it more inviting and appetizing.

Serving Hot:

Serve the biscuits fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still melty. This ensures the best flavor and texture, making your dish irresistible. The warmth enhances the overall experience.

Making Au Jus:

Simmer the beef broth with soy sauce and thyme to create a rich au jus. This step is essential for depth of flavor and brings the entire dish together. Allowing it to simmer helps meld the flavors beautifully.

Layering the Filling:

When layering the roast beef and cheese, be generous but not overly packed. Too much filling can make it difficult to close the biscuit and may cause them to overflow during baking. Aim for a balanced approach for optimal results.

Monitoring Baking Time:

Keep an eye on the biscuits during baking to prevent overbaking. They should be golden brown on top and firm to the touch. Every oven varies, so checking a few minutes early can make a difference.

Biscuit Cutting:

When cutting out your biscuits, use a sharp cutter without twisting. Twisting can seal the edges, preventing them from rising properly. Aim for clean cuts to maximize height and texture.

Kneading Dough:

Gently knead the dough just until it comes together. Over-kneading can lead to tough biscuits, so aim for minimal handling. This technique ensures the right texture—light and fluffy without being dense.

Cutting in Butter:

Cutting in butter is a critical step for achieving flaky biscuits. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to incorporate cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This process traps air in the dough, allowing your biscuits to puff up beautifully while baking.

Master Your Recipe

Add sautéed onions or peppers to the filling for extra flavor and texture.

Serve with additional dips like horseradish or mustard for an exciting twist.

Leftover biscuits can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days, but are best eaten fresh.

Unbaked biscuits can be frozen for up to a month. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Ingredients

For the Biscuits:

2 cups all-purpose flour, sifted for lighter texture

1 tablespoon baking powder, helps biscuits rise and become fluffy

1/2 teaspoon baking soda, enhances the leavening process

1 teaspoon salt, to enhance overall flavor

1/2 cup cold unsalted butter, diced, creates flakiness in the biscuit

3/4 cup whole milk, adds moisture and richness

For the Filling:

1 pound roast beef, thinly sliced, the star protein for the filling

1 cup provolone cheese, shredded, provides a melty, gooey texture

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, adds depth of flavor

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, complements the beef beautifully

For the Au Jus:

2 cups beef broth, flavorful base for dipping

1 tablespoon soy sauce, enhances umami notes

1 teaspoon dried thyme, to add an aromatic touch

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This temperature will ensure that the biscuits bake evenly and develop a beautiful golden crust.

In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together to ensure even distribution of the leavening ingredients.

Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. This step is crucial for achieving flaky biscuits.

Gradually add the milk, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make your biscuits tough.

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently knead it a few times until it comes together. Pat it into a 1-inch thick rectangle.

Using a biscuit cutter, cut out rounds and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Re-roll scraps as needed, but limit handling for tenderness.

Bake the biscuits in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden and puffed up. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

While the biscuits bake, prepare the filling by combining the roast beef, provolone cheese, Worcestershire sauce, and garlic powder in a bowl. Mix until evenly coated.

After the biscuits are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Then, slice each biscuit in half horizontally.

Fill each biscuit with a generous portion of the roast beef mixture. Return them to the oven for another 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the beef broth, soy sauce, and dried thyme. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes to infuse flavors.

Serve the biscuits warm alongside the au jus for dipping. Enjoy the warm, gooey goodness!

For the ultimate experience, serve these biscuits fresh out of the oven while the cheese is still melty.

Garnish with fresh parsley if desired for a touch of color and flavor.
