Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 24 pepperoni slices (or turkey pepperoni for a lighter option)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup marinara sauce, for dipping
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 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!
