Ingredients:
2 tbsp melted butter: For brushing the dough for a golden, flavorful crust.
1 tsp garlic powder: Adds a garlicky kick to the butter topping.
1 tsp Italian seasoning: Provides classic pizza flavor.
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough: The base for these pizza bombs.
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: For that ooey-gooey cheesy center.
1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices: Adds savory, meaty flavor.
Optional Add-Ins
Marinara or pizza sauce: For dipping or adding inside.
Crushed red pepper flakes: For a bit of heat.
Chopped black olives, mushrooms, or green peppers: To mix up the flavors.
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Prepare the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside for brushing later. - Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon) and mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough circle. - Seal the Pizza Bombs
Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching it tightly at the top to seal.
Roll the dough into a smooth ball, ensuring no gaps or openings. - Arrange and Brush
Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush the tops with the prepared butter mixture to give them flavor and help them brown beautifully. - Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through. - Serve
Remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
Serve warm with a side of marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
