Ingredients 🛒
For the Pizza Bombs:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (or pizza dough) 🥖
Tip: Pillsbury Grands biscuits work great for this recipe. - 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (or regular pepperoni, cut into quarters) 🍕
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce 🍅
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
For the Garlic Butter Topping:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- 2 cloves garlic, minced 🧄
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning 🌿
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish) 🌱
- 1/4 teaspoon salt 🧂
Optional Dipping Sauces:
- Extra pizza sauce 🍅
- Ranch dressing 🥗
- Marinara sauce 🍽️
- Garlic aioli 🧄
Instructions 👩🍳
Step 1: Prepare the Dough
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough. Separate the dough into individual biscuits.
- If you’re using pizza dough, divide it into 8-10 even portions. Roll each portion into small balls.
Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Bombs 🍕
- Flatten each biscuit or dough ball into a 3-4 inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Spread 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle. Be careful not to spread it too close to the edges.
- Add a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon).
- Place 3-4 mini pepperoni slices (or a few pieces of regular pepperoni) on top of the cheese.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling to form a ball. Pinch the seams tightly to seal the pizza bomb completely.
- Tip: Make sure no sauce or cheese is leaking out; this keeps the bombs intact while baking.
- Place each assembled pizza bomb seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet. Leave a little space between each one.
Step 3: Brush with Garlic Butter 🧄
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and salt. Stir well to combine.
- Brush each pizza bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top of each pizza bomb for an extra cheesy kick.
Step 4: Bake the Pizza Bombs 🔥
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.
- Tip: Keep an eye on them after 12 minutes to prevent over-browning.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly for about 5 minutes.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy! 🍽️
- Garnish the pizza bombs with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor (optional). 🌿
- Serve the pizza bombs warm with extra pizza sauce, marinara sauce, or ranch dressing for dipping.
