Italian pepper biscuits are great for holidays and every day. Serve with antipasto on Easter.

Ingredients

• 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper together in a bowl. Stir olive oil and cold water into dry ingredients, mixing to make a soft dough. Pinch off a handful of dough, roll into a thick log between your hands, and use a scissors to cut into pieces about 2 inches long. Place biscuits about 1 1/2 inches apart on baking sheets.
