Ingredients You’ll Need

To whip up these Pepperoni Pizza Bombs, you’ll need just six simple ingredients:

• 2 tbsp melted butter: Adds that golden, buttery finish.
• 1 tsp garlic powder: Infuses each bite with bold garlicky flavor.
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning: For that authentic pizza taste.
• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough: The shortcut hero of this recipe!
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese: Because ooey-gooey cheese is a must.
• 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices: Perfectly portioned for bite-sized flavor.

Tools You’ll Need

• Rolling pin or your hands to flatten the dough
• Pastry brush for that dreamy butter topping

How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Are you ready to turn your kitchen into a pizzeria? Let’s do it!

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prep the Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Dough: Open your can of biscuit dough and separate the biscuits. Flatten each one into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter) using your hands or a rolling pin.
4. Fill the Dough: Place about 1 tbsp of shredded mozzarella and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each circle.
5. Seal the Bombs: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to form a sealed ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
6. Add the Garlic Butter Topping: Using a pastry brush, generously coat each pizza bomb with the butter mixture.
7. Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the bombs are golden brown and bubbling slightly.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Let them cool for a few minutes (if you can resist!) before serving. The cheese inside will be melty and oh-so-delicious.

What to Serve with Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

While these pizza bombs are fantastic on their own, pairing them with a dipping sauce takes them to the next level! Try serving with:

• Marinara sauce: A classic choice for that extra tomato flavor.
• Ranch dressing: Creamy and tangy, it’s a fun contrast to the pizza flavors.
• Garlic butter sauce: Double the garlic, double the fun!

These also make an excellent addition to a game-day snack spread alongside wings, veggies, and chips.

Tips for Making the Best Pizza Bombs

• Seal the edges well: To prevent cheese from oozing out, make sure to pinch the dough tightly after filling.
• Experiment with fillings: Don’t stop at pepperoni! Add cooked sausage, olives, or chopped veggies to customize your bombs.
• Make them crispy: For an extra-crispy finish, sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top before baking.
• Use a muffin tin: If you want perfectly round bombs, bake them in a muffin tin to help them hold their shape.

Storage and Reheating

These Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers (a rare occurrence, trust me!), here’s how to store them:

• Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
• Freezer: Freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I use homemade dough instead of refrigerated biscuit dough?
Absolutely! If you have a favorite pizza or bread dough recipe, feel free to use it. Just make sure it’s rolled thin enough to form the bombs.

Can I make these in advance?
Yes! Assemble the bombs ahead of time and store them covered in the fridge for up to 1 day. Brush with the butter mixture and bake when ready.

What can I substitute for mini pepperoni slices?
If you can’t find mini pepperoni, simply chop regular-sized slices into smaller pieces. You can also use turkey pepperoni or any other protein you like.

Can I make these vegetarian?
Of course! Skip the pepperoni and add chopped veggies like bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach instead.
