FAQ
Can I make pizza bake ahead?
It is best fresh, but leftovers reheat well in the oven or air fryer.
Can I use pizza dough instead of biscuits?
Yes, but the texture will be chewier and may need a slightly different bake time.
How do I know the dough is done?
The center should be puffed and no longer doughy. If needed, cover loosely and bake a few minutes longer.
Can I add vegetables?
Yes. Use small amounts of peppers, mushrooms, onions, or olives so the bake does not get watery.
