FAQs

What type of dough works best?

Refrigerated biscuit dough is easy and fluffy, but pizza or crescent roll dough can be used too.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes, assemble and refrigerate unbaked for a few hours. Bake just before serving.

How do I know when it’s fully cooked?

The top should be golden and the center should not feel doughy. A toothpick should come out clean from the middle.

Can I use fresh mozzarella?

Yes, cubed fresh mozzarella adds gooey pockets of cheese.

Can I make it vegetarian?

Absolutely. Just skip the meat and load up on veggies like peppers, onions, and olives.

What’s the best pan to use?

A bundt pan ensures even cooking and a stunning presentation, but a round or rectangular baking dish works too.

Is it good cold?

It’s best warm, but leftovers can be eaten cold or at room temperature.

Can I double the recipe?

Yes, use a larger pan or bake in two batches.

How do I prevent it from sticking to the pan?

Grease the pan thoroughly with oil or butter.

Can I use homemade dough?

Definitely. Homemade pizza dough works great—just adjust baking time if needed.
