# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in about 15 minutes of hands on time, perfect for those nights when cooking feels like too much
  • The way those biscuit pieces rise through the sauce creates these golden pillowy pockets that everyone fights over
02 -
  • If you cut the biscuits too small, theyll disappear into the sauce, so keep them around that 1 inch mark
  • That resting period is non negotiable unless you want to serve something that looks like a cheesy crime scene
03 -
  • Let the biscuit dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before cutting, it makes everything so much easier
  • Spring for the good pepperoni that curls and crisps in the oven, it makes a huge difference in the final dish
