Hello! Has anyone tried to make a gluten free version of a bubble up? They look so tasty but wasn’t sure how to go about it. Think about trying gluten free homemade biscuit dough….
Hi Kimberly , sorry I am not to sure what to suggest for GF
Looks so great! How long does this stay fresh in the refrigerator??
Few days should be ok, I’d freeze any longer than that
If I make it today will it be ok through Friday?
I probably would freeze it if you want it to last that long, I generally only keep things in the fridge a few days
Sorry if I missed it. But what would the freestyle points be? Also have you used whole eggs?
Freestyle would be the same, no I only used whites but you can try eggs 🙂
Hello ! I just made this . It is absolutely delicious ! My boyfriend said it was excellent :). However it comes up as 7 smart points and I don’t know why that is . Maybe it’s the pepperonis I used . I had to use 32 instead of 40 slices to make it 8 smart points . So I’m not sure what the case is . Either way this was a DELICIOUS meal !
Hi, Savannah I am glad you both enjoyed it, are you sure you used the right size biscuits? The small package I use is 17SP for the whole thing, it’s 10 small biscuits and 7.5oz, also I use trader joe’s light mozzarella which is very low on points, I think the 2/3 cup was 3 points
