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.
