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 and Finishing
- 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 to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Flatten Dough Circles: Flatten each biscuit dough piece into a 4-inch diameter circle to provide enough space for filling and easy sealing.
- Fill the Pizza Bombs: Spread 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle, then top with 2 slices of pepperoni and a generous sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese for a melty, savory center.
- Seal the Bombs: Pinch the edges of the dough together securely to enclose the filling inside, forming a ball shape to ensure the cheese and toppings don’t leak out while baking.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed pizza bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet to help them hold their shape during baking.
- Brush and Season: Brush each bomb with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor and a golden finish.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve Warm: Remove from oven and serve warm with extra pizza sauce on the side for dipping, for a delightful cheesy, meaty snack.
Notes
- Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent cheese from oozing out during baking.
- Feel free to add other fillings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or bell peppers for variation.
- Serve immediately for the best melty cheese experience.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven to retain crispiness.
