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!
