Mushroom - Biscuit Dough Sandwich

Sandwiches/wraps are mostly made with bread, pitas, roti or tortillas. But when I didn’t have any of these and still wanted to make a sandwich, my creativity kicked in, out of desperation (as always!). I made a sandwich out of biscuit dough, not sweet ones, but country-style biscuits that can be found in the refrigerator section.

I don’t buy biscuit dough often. But on those days when you are dog tired and all you want is a hot bowl of soup and good bread to dunk in, these come in handy. Since I already use them as bread, I decided to experiment them in a sandwich. And it definitely worked. This is a convenient meal when you want to put together with what you have on hand. Any spicy left-over vegetables from your refrigerator would also work here.

Oyster mushrooms and biscuit dough.

I have used oyster mushrooms which cook fast. If you are using any other type of mushrooms, I would recommend sautéing the mushrooms first, followed by onions and tomato, like I did in Mushroom Masala.

Ingredients

Biscuit dough – 1 can
Oyster mushrooms – 1 pack, sliced
Onion – 1, sliced
Tomato – 2, sliced
Ginger – 1 inch piece, finely chopped
Garlic – 3 cloves
Cumin seeds – ½ tsp
Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
Garam masala powder – ½ tsp
Turmeric powder – ¼ tsp
Salt
Oil

Method

Preheat the oven according to the directions in the biscuit dough package.

In a pan, heat a tsp of oil and splutter cumin seeds. Add onions, ginger and garlic. When onions become soft, add tomatoes, mushrooms and all the dry powders with salt. Cook until mushrooms are soft and everything comes together. Allow this to cool a bit.

Coat a non-stick baking pan with oil. Take eight biscuits from the package and flatten them by your hands by pulling the edges. Flatten them till they are large enough to hold the filling. Lay them on the cutting board, and place filling on four of the biscuits. Top with the remaining four biscuits. Stretch and pinch the corners to seal them properly. Place them on the baking pan and bake for the time specified in the package.

Allow them to cool for two minutes and serve warm.
