Description

These Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are a fun and easy way to enjoy pizza in bite-sized form! Perfect for parties, snacks, or a quick dinner, these cheesy, pepperoni-filled dough bombs are baked to golden perfection and served with marinara sauce for dipping.


Ingredients

Scale
  1. 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  2. 24 pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni for a lighter option)
  3. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  4. 1 cup marinara sauce, for dipping
  5. 2 tbsp melted butter
  6. 1 tsp garlic powder
  7. 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  8. 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
  9. Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Prepare Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual rounds and flatten each one into a small circle.
  • Fill Dough: Place 2-3 pepperoni slices and a generous pinch of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough circle.
  • Seal & Shape: Carefully fold the dough edges over the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll the dough balls gently in your hands to form a smooth ball, ensuring no gaps. Place each pizza bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  • Season & Bake: Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffy.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, use turkey pepperoni.
  • These pizza bombs are best served immediately while warm.
  • Feel free to add other pizza toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives for variety!
