A popular among novice bread bakers, this easy, classic bread can come together in an afternoon. The dough does not require any kneading—just a couple rises to develop flavor and texture. Plus, kids will love helping with the step of dimpling the dough on a sheet pan before baking. Stick with garlic and rosemary, or experiment with other toppings like tomatoes, olives, shallots, or herbs like thyme, sage, or oregano.

Pepper and Chive Biscuits

The combination of chives, black pepper, and buttermilk evoke the flavor profile of sour cream and onion chips, but in buttery biscuit form. Stacking the dough maximizes the layers of butter, which melt in the oven to create that quintessential flaky texture.
