Pull apart party bread:
Prepare oven to 400F (200c).

Using your hands take a small amount of biscuit dough about the size of a donut hole.
Put a small drop of egg wash in your hands and roll the small dough ball with the canola and form a perfect egg washed coated ball small ball.
Continue to roll and make all the balls until the biscuit dough is gone.
Using the baking sheet carefully layout the biscuit balls to form a shape of two squares. With the inside of the squares remaining open. This open area is where the dips will go into to bake and the bread to bake around them.
Ensure the bread rolls on the walls all touch together as you want them to bake together. Once all the rolls have been placed, carefully ladle in the lobster dip into one of the open squares. Followed by the Philadelphia Hoagie dip ladled into the second open square.
Place in the oven to bake for 15-20 minutes or until the bread rolls are fully baked and golden brown.
Once baked and to serve carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Let cool for one minute and pull apart the bread rolls and dip them into the hot dips!
