# Tips from hearthlykitchen:

01 -
  • It transforms humble canned biscuits into something that tastes like it came from a neighborhood pizza joint
  • The whole family gets excited when they see bubbling cheese and golden biscuit edges emerge from the oven
02 -
  • Resist cutting the biscuits too small or they will become dense and doughy instead of fluffy
  • Do not skip the 5 minute resting period or the cheese will slide right off when you serve it
03 -
  • Place a baking sheet on the rack below to catch any cheese overflow and keep your oven clean
  • Sprinkle a little extra mozzarella during the last 5 minutes of baking for those gorgeous golden cheese spots
