Description

These golden-baked pizza bombs are filled with melty mozzarella and savory pepperoni—perfect for dipping in marinara and devouring on pizza night.


Ingredients

1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (use halal if needed)

2 tablespoons melted butter

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Marinara or pizza sauce, for dipping


Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Separate biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.

Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges tightly to seal into a ball.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over each dough ball.

Arrange the sealed bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.

Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

 

Notes

Use turkey or plant-based pepperoni for a halal or vegetarian option.

Add a spoonful of pizza sauce inside for a saucier filling.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer.

Great for meal prep—freeze unbaked bombs and bake straight from frozen with a few extra minutes.
