Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer featuring soft biscuit dough stuffed with mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni, baked to golden perfection and brushed with a flavorful garlic and Italian herb butter.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 oz, 8 count)

Filling

  • 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1.5 tablespoons per bomb)
  • 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices

Topping

  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pizza bombs.
  2. Prepare Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into 8 individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a roughly 4-inch circle on a clean surface.
  3. Add Filling: Place about 1.5 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each flattened biscuit.
  4. Seal Bombs: Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit dough around the filling and pinch to seal completely, creating a ball or ‘bomb’ shape. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent cheese from leaking.
  5. Arrange for Baking: Place the sealed dough bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Prepare Garlic Butter: While the bombs bake, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
  8. Brush and Serve: Once out of the oven, brush the tops of the pizza bombs generously with the seasoned garlic butter. Serve warm for the best cheesy, savory experience.

Notes

  • Use mini pepperoni slices for easy filling; regular slices can be chopped if needed.
  • Ensure the dough is securely sealed to avoid cheese leakage during baking.
  • Serve with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
  • These bombs can be reheated in the oven for a few minutes for a crispy exterior.
