Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
Form the crust, rising and turning tender and flaky as they bake.
Pepperoni
Adds savory, slightly fatty flavour and crisps slightly in the oven.
Spaghetti sauce
Provides moisture and tangy tomato flavour across the biscuit.
Parmesan cheese
Adds salty, nutty flavour and browns well on top.
Pizza cheese
Melts into a stretchy layer and browns for a golden finish.

The step that matters

Watching the bake. The biscuits brown quickly because the cheese and sugars in the dough and sauce darken fast at 350°F. Checking early prevents scorched cheese and burnt bases while the centres finish cooking.
