Gluten Free Pizza Biscuits

Today I felt inspired to bake something savory.  We were a bread heavy family before going GF and I really do miss bread, and probably always will.  I made some homemade pizza yesterday and decided that those flavors would be delicious in a biscuit form.

Our local Von's has an entire display of their new Eating Right for Gluten Free line of foods.  I bought the baking mix and didn't get fancy with the basic instructions.  I just followed their instructions on the side for biscuits. I then added my savory ingredients and cheese.  I would think this would work with any GF baking mix that has a biscuit recommendation.  I was able to make eight large biscuits and served them with a warm side of our favorite GF pasta sauce.  

These biscuits were so good!  Oregano, garlic and basil along with romano and asiago cheese all mixed in a light and warm biscuit...mmmmm.  I baked half of mine with additional cheese on top.  It was a nice touch, but made them a bit messy.  Consider the extra cheese completely optional, as they are still great without it.
