• Using a basting brush, brush the biscuit dough with olive oil.
• Sprinkle your pizza dough with garlic and dried basil.

Step 3: Pre-Bake the Crust

• Bake your crusts for only 3-5 minutes. Make sure to check to prevent crust edges from burning.
• Remove your pizza crusts from the oven to cool  for 3-5 minutes.

Step 4: Add the Toppings

• Add Cheese and Toppings:

Tips for Success

• Customize Your Crust: For a thicker crust, layer two biscuits together before flattening them out.
• Pre-Cook Toppings: If using raw toppings like sausage or bacon, cook them beforehand to ensure they are fully cooked on your pizza.
• Experiment with Flavors: Try barbecue sauce or pesto instead of traditional pizza sauce for a creative twist.
• Mini Pizzas: For individual servings, use each biscuit as its own crust and customize the toppings to suit everyone’s taste.
