# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It transforms store-bought biscuit dough into something that tastes homemade and special
  • The customizable toppings let everyone build their ideal pizza experience
02 -
  • Do not overmix the biscuit pieces with sauce or they will become dense instead of fluffy
  • Letting it rest for 5 minutes is crucial—the sauce needs time to settle so you get clean squares
03 -
  • Use kitchen scissors to cut the biscuit dough directly into the dish for less mess
  • If the biscuits brown too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 10 minutes
