4-Roll out the biscuit dough on a clean surface, then cut into equally sized squares or circles as per your biscuit dough’s shape.

6-Arrange the filled dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to allow expansion during baking, and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

7-For gluten-free dough, monitor baking time as it may vary slightly.

8-After baking, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving; optionally, brush with additional barbecue sauce for extra flavor enhancement.
