You could make the same biscuits with just flour and water and some salt. take 50g water and 50g flour and mix into a mason jar. the next day, take out 50g of the mixture and add 50g water and 50g flour. the next day repeat. After 3-5 days of doing the same thing and depending on how warm its is where you are, you should have a jar that is starting to rise by nearly double each time you remove and add. Thats the natural yeast that's been collecting in that jar. once you get a good rise you can make bread or biscuits. Take all but 50g of your mixture and mix with 350g of water. Add in 500g of flour. Add 10g of salt. now you need the dough to rise. That's another process and if your interested I will tell ya.
The next steps before you bake is to do what is called a stretch and fold. in the container the dough is in now, you are going to get your hand damp, reach under the dough and pull up and fold over and tuck under. rotate the bowl and repeat 4-6 times. You will repeat this process once an hour for the next 3 hours. After you are done you can flour a towel and transfer the dough to it and place back in the bowl and cover it. the dough will be ready to bake when you push on the dough and it springs back 1/2 the amount you pressed in. Or you can place in the fridge and bake in the morning. you will need a dutch oven to bake this bread. preheat oven with dutch oven to 500f. while oven is preheating, take dough and place on top of parchment paper or keep on towel. remove dutch oven and place dough in it. Take a sharp knife or razor blade and score the top of the dough from end to end or make a square. cover and place in oven. turn oven to 450f and bake for 25 min. After 25 min. remove cover and keep baking for another 25 min.
Biscuits, after the stretch and fold and you let it sit out or you just removed from the fridge, you can roll this dough out to 1/2 inch or slightly more. you can cut squares, use a cookie cutter and make rounds or grab a chunk roll a ball and flatten with your hands. you will cook these on top of the stove in just about anything that is non stick.
*results will differ from different levels of temp and humidity. In the end, you will have bread from flour, water and a bit of salt.
