Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Bombs
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)
- 16 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
Topping
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent sticking.
- Flatten the Dough: Take each biscuit dough piece and flatten it into a 4-inch circle to create a base for the filling.
- Fill the Pizza Bombs: Spread 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle, layering in 2 slices of pepperoni and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese.
- Seal the Bombs: Carefully pinch the edges of the dough together to fully enclose the filling, forming a neat ball without any gaps.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place each pizza bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- Apply Toppings: Brush the tops of the bombs with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden crust.
- Bake: Bake the pizza bombs in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until they are puffed up and golden brown on top.
- Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and serve hot with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping pleasure.
Notes
- Ensure the dough edges are sealed tightly to prevent filling leakage during baking.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Can customize fillings by adding vegetables, different cheeses, or even cooked sausage.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and melty cheese texture.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven or microwave, but will be best fresh.
