Can I use homemade dough instead of canned biscuits?
Yes, you can substitute with homemade biscuit or pizza dough—just cut it into small pieces before coating.
Can I cook this on high?
It’s best to cook on low for even, soft results. Cooking on high may cause uneven cooking or hard edges.
Why line the crockpot with parchment?
It prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier, especially when removing the finished bread.

You can use other hard cheeses like Asiago or Romano, or a mix of shredded cheese.
