Cheesy Garlic Bread Swirls

These are so YUMMY, how can you go wrong with butter, garlic, and mozzarella cheese?? You can make a french bread dough or you can use a pizza dough recipe like one you can find here.
Roll out your dough into a rectangle then:
-brush on melted butter
-sprinkle with garlic bread seasoning
-sprinkle on generous amounts of mozzarella cheese
Roll it up like you do cinnamon rolls and place on a jelly roll pan. I put them right into the oven at 350* for 15-20 minutes. If the cheese starts to brown before the bread is done cover with aluminum foil, not pressed down.

Fast Cream Biscuits

Ingredients:
2 C. all purpose flour
2 t. sugar
2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1 1/2 c. heavy cream

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir in the cream with a wooden spoon until the dough forms, about 30 seconds. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured counter and gather into a ball. Knead the dough briefly until smooth, about 30 seconds.

2. Pat the dough into a 3/4 inch thick circle. Cut the biscuits into rounds using a 2 1/2 inch biscuit cutter (I use a glass cup). Place the biscuits on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.

These are really moist biscuits. They are not dry at all and they are very good!
