253 KcalIt's the best and quickest way to alter traditional pizza in your diet by using flaky biscuit dough instead of standard pizza dough. This biscuit pizza recipe makes for a great fast weeknight dinner or fun family meal. Soft buttery biscuits bake up golden and a bit crispy at the edges, adding a wonderful contrasting texture to the melty cheese and the savoury toppings. Set out a package of refrigerated biscuit dough, squishing the pieces into flat rounds on a baking sheet. Once the dough is in place, add a layer of pizza sauce over each biscuit and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese. From there, the remainder is up to you. Biscuits certainly can handle pepperoni, sausage, vegetables, and even pineapple. Add a sprinkle of dried oregano or crushed red pepper for that unique zing of flavour. Bake the biscuit pizzas in the oven when the edges are golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted, usually for 10-12 minutes. The result is a crispy, cheesy, totally irresistible bite-sized individual pizza. This biscuit pizza is customisable and tailored to different tastes, making it the perfect dish for those picky eaters or as an appetiser at that party. Quick, easy, and oh-so-delicious, this biscuit pizza is bound to become your new favourite in the repertoire of recipes!

Cooking steps for Biscuit Pizza
- 1Biscuit pizza is the ultimate hack for when you're craving pizza vibes, let's explore the recipe of biscuit pizza.
- 2First things first, preheat your oven to 375 F (190 C). Grab two cans of refrigerated biscuit dough.
- 3Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Flatten each biscuit with your fingers into a round mini pizza base. They'll puff up in the oven, so keep them on the thinner side if you're after a more balanced crust-to-topping ratio.
- 4Now for the sauce. Spoon about 1 1/2 cups of pizza sauce onto the flattened biscuits and spread it evenly with the back of your spoon. You can go store-bought or whip up your own sauce if you're feeling fancy. The sauce is the flavor foundation, so make it count.
- 5Next up, cheese. Grab about 3 cups of shredded mozzarella and sprinkle it generously over the biscuits. Pro tip: mix in some shredded cheddar if you want those golden-brown, slightly crispy edges. There's no such thing as too much cheese, so pile it on. Each biscuit should be covered in a dreamy layer of cheesy goodness.
- 6Time to top things off! Go classic with 60 slices of pepperoni (that's three per biscuit) or get creative. Think saut ed mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, or even pineapple—this is your pizza party, after all. Arrange your toppings evenly so every bite is a flavour bomb. If you're keeping it veggie, just skip the pepperoni and load up on the greens.
- 7Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and let the magic happen. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the biscuits are golden, the cheese is bubbling, and the pepperoni (or whatever toppings you chose) is crispy around the edges.
- 8Once they're out of the oven, let them cool for a hot second (literally). Serve them up right away, either as individual portions or on a big platter for sharing. These biscuit pizzas are perfect for dipping into extra sauce or ranch, and they're an instant crowd-pleaser.
FAQs
What is Biscuit Pizza, and how does it make its way to the dinner table?
Biscuit pizza is a trendy and easy meal where pre-made biscuit dough becomes the bottom of a personal mini-pizza. It's innovative, a creative twist on traditional pizza for snacks or quick meals. The preparation involves spreading biscuit dough rounds to an even thickness on a baking sheet, spreading a layer of pizza sauce or tomato puree, and adding your favourite toppings. Sprinkle some cheese on top, and pop them in the oven until the cheese is melted and the biscuit base is golden brown.
Is Biscuit Pizza healthy?
A healthier biscuit pizza can be attained through healthy ingredients. Choose a whole-grain biscuit dough or even create your dough for a healthy base. Maintain the balance in the dish by using fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and low-fat cheese. It's not as low-calorie as other snacks, but it's convenient and allows flexibility. Baked instead of fried, this snack has less unnecessary fat, so it is relatively wholesome if used occasionally.
Can Biscuit Pizza be modified to meet special nutritional needs?
Yes, biscuit pizza is very versatile. For a gluten-free version, use the gluten-free biscuit dough. Vegan versions can use plant-based biscuit dough and change the cheese to vegan alternatives. Toppings can also be preferred, such as dairy-free cheese for those with lactose intolerance or no meat for vegetarian purposes.
