INGREDIENTS:

• Melted butter, two tbsp.
• 1 tsp. of baking powder
• One cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/4th tsp. of powdered garlic
• Sour cream, two tbsp.
• 0.5 tsp. of Italian seasoning
• Eggs, 2
• 1/4th tsp. of salt
• Extra cheese/parsley flakes for topping

INGREDIENT NOTES:

BAKING POWDER:

• The addition of a little baking powder will help the biscuit bombs to rise, so they have a little airy texture.

BUTTER:

• We will need the melted butter to apply on top of the biscuits. This gives them a beautiful golden finish.

MOZZARELLA:

• We will require both shredded as well as cubed mozzarella cheese(low-moisture). Shredded mozzarella will be mixed with the dough for some cheesy flavor. While a half-inch cube of mozzarella will be placed in the center of a biscuit, which melts upon baking to give you the melty goodness in mouth.

FLOUR OF ALMOND:

• To achieve the best texture of the biscuits, use the superfine version of skinless almond flour. This will be the best low-carb version of regular flour.

SOUR CREAM:

• This will provide your biscuits with the necessary softness/moisture along with a light tangy flavor. You may use the Greek yogurt in its place.

EGGS:

• The addition of two big-sized eggs will help to bind the biscuits well and puff them up a little.

SEASONINGS:

• We will make the biscuits tasty & flavorful by adding the Italian seasoning, salt, powdered onion & garlic as per your liking.

TIPS:

• Leave the mixing of the dough as soon as everything is combined properly. Overmixing may lead to a non-fluffy dough.
• You can also make the spicy version of the biscuits bomb by using a pinch of chili flakes/cayenne pepper.
• You need to cover the cubes of mozzarella properly using the dough. Otherwise the cheese will leak upon melting while baking.

HOW TO PRESERVE:

CHILLING:

• When the biscuit bombs attain the normal temperature, save them in the container sealed with a lid. Refrigerate them for ~four days.

FREEZING:

• Pack each bomb using the cling wrap. Arrange the baked/unbaked biscuit bombs on the tray & freeze them. Once they freeze, shift them into the bag(freezer-safe) & keep them for ~sixty days.
  The night before you need to serve/eat, put them in the fridge.

REHEATING:

• Use an oven/an air fryer to warm them again to enjoy the biscuits as they are freshly baked. You can also freeze them unbaked. Bake them fresh when you want to serve/eat.

FAQs:

May the flour of coconut replace the flour of almond?

• You need to make a few adjustments to use the flour of coconut in place of almond flour. As coconut flour absorbs more moisture so you need to reduce its amount to 1/3rd of the almond flour & also need to increase the liquids.

Is that possible to go non-dairy while making these biscuits?

• Sure! you may use the vegan alternative of sour cream & non-dairy version of cheese and here you get the non-dairy version of these biscuits bomb.

May I make the variations in these biscuit bombs?

• Along with cheese cubes, you may use the slices of pepperoni, Cooked bits of bacon, jalapeno, etc.
