FAQs

Yes, but biscuit dough gives a better pull-apart texture.
Is this a main dish or an appetizer?

How do I know it’s fully cooked?
The top should be golden brown and a skewer inserted should come out hot and clean.

Absolutely—kids love the cheesy, buttery goodness.
Can I add spice?
Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for a kick.
