Cheesy pepperoni Pizza Bombs

1. Seal the Dough Well: Make sure you pinch the seams of the dough tightly so the cheese doesn’t leak out while baking. If needed, slightly dampen your fingers with water to help seal.
2. Customize the Fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings like sausage, cooked bacon, olives, or mushrooms. The possibilities are endless!
3. Cheese Matters: Use a high-quality mozzarella cheese for the best melt and stretch. You can also mix in a bit of cheddar for a sharper flavor. 🧀
4. Prevent Sticking: Use parchment paper or lightly grease your baking sheet to ensure the pizza bombs lift off easily after baking.
5. Make Ahead: Assemble the pizza bombs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator. Bake them just before serving for a fresh, hot appetizer.

Variations 🎉

• Supreme Pizza Bombs: Add diced bell peppers, onions, black olives, and crumbled sausage for a supreme pizza flavor. 🌶️
• Hawaiian Style: Add small chunks of pineapple and ham along with the cheese for a sweet-and-savory twist. 🍍🥓
• Buffalo Chicken Bombs: Replace the pepperoni with shredded rotisserie chicken tossed in buffalo sauce. Pair with ranch for dipping! 🌶️🍗
• Vegetarian Bombs: Skip the pepperoni and add sautéed mushrooms, spinach, or roasted red peppers. 🥦

How to Store and Reheat 📦

• Refrigerator: Store leftover pizza bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Reheating: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes to restore the crispy exterior. Avoid microwaving, as it may make the dough soft and soggy.
• Freezing: To freeze, assemble the pizza bombs (but don’t bake them), place them on a baking sheet, and freeze until solid. Transfer to a freezer bag and bake straight from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the bake time.
