If you're making these with your seasonings:

• Sprinkle SHORELINE over the cheese before baking for a buttery garlic pizza flavor.

• Or use a light dusting of FORGE if you want a smoky, slightly spicy pizza dog with extra kick.

These also work great in the air fryer at 350°F for 5–7 minutes once assembled, just until the cheese is melted and the buns are toasted.
