# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The biscuit pieces bake up fluffy and golden while soaking up all that pizza flavor
  • You can customize the toppings to match whatever everyone in the house is craving
  • It comes together in about fifteen minutes hands-on time
02 -
  • The biscuits should be puffed completely through not doughy in the center before you call it done
  • Adding all the cheese at once creates a solid layer but splitting it makes pockets of melted goodness inside
