# Ingredients:
→ Dough and Fillings
01 -
16 oz refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
02 -
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or cheese sticks cut into small pieces
03 -
24 slices pepperoni (approximately 3 slices per bomb)
04 -
1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce, plus more for dipping
→ Seasonings and Toppings
05 -
2 tbsp butter, melted
06 -
1 tsp garlic powder
07 -
1 tsp Italian seasoning
08 -
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
09 -
Fresh basil or parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
# Steps:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 -
Separate the biscuits and cut each biscuit in half to make 16 pieces.
03 -
Flatten each biscuit piece slightly with your fingers. Place a small amount of marinara sauce in the center of each piece, followed by 2-3 pepperoni slices and a small handful of shredded mozzarella (or one piece of a cheese stick).
04 -
Fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch them together to seal completely, forming a ball. Make sure there are no gaps so the cheese doesn’t leak out during baking. Place each bomb seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 -
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the tops of each pizza bomb. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
06 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.
07 -
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with chopped basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm with extra marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
