    Pizza Drop Biscuits

    By Leave a Comment

    These Pizza Drop Biscuits are the most simple and satisfying way to eat pizza for an appetizer, snack or lunch. Dip in marinara or pizza sauce for a more complete treat. Loaded with mozzarella cheese, pepperoni (or salami) and savory Italian seasoning. The biscuits pictured were made with King Arthur Flour Measure for Measure gluten free flour blend and are utter perfection.

    Can I make these biscuits gluten free?

    Yes! We made these gluten free many times and they tasted great! The flour blend you use will make a big difference however. We had the best texture and flavor with King Arthur Measure for Measure. The Namaste brand from Costco did not work at all.

    Ideas for eating pizza biscuits

    • Breakfast - top with a soft-boiled egg or eat alongside scrambled eggs.
    • Lunch - dipped in your favorite Soup. We like it with our Chicken Tortilla Soup or Broccoli Potato Soup.
    • Dinner - alongside your favorite Italian pasta recipe or served as an appetizer or snack.
    • Add to your next charcuterie board with marinara for dipping and plenty of other Italian meats and cheeses. I've done this and it's such a hit!

    3 ways to store biscuits

    How To store biscuits at room temperature

    Place in a zip-top bag lined with a paper towel. They will keep at room temperature for 3 days.

    How To store in the refrigerator

    Biscuits will keep really well in the refrigerator in a paper towel-lined zip-top bag for up to a week! Feel free to warm in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating.

    How to freeze biscuits

    Biscuits will keep well in the freezer! Be sure biscuits are completely cooled. Simply place biscuits in a zip-top bag (no paper towel this time) and place in the freezer. Remove one or two biscuits at a time and reheat in the microwave for 15-30 seconds. They will keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. Be sure to date the bag.
