1. Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Butter Topping
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside for brushing later.
3. Prepare the Dough
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon) and mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough circle.
4. Seal the Pizza Bombs
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching it tightly at the top to seal.
- Roll the dough into a smooth ball, ensuring no gaps or openings.
5. Arrange and Brush
- Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the tops with the prepared butter mixture to give them flavor and help them brown beautifully.
6. Bake
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve
- Remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm with a side of marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
- Perfect as a party appetizer, after-school snack, or game-day treat.
- Pair with a side salad for a quick meal.
- Offer a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, garlic butter, or spicy marinara for extra fun.
Storage and Reheating
- Refrigerate: Store leftover pizza bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes or in the microwave for 20–30 seconds.
- Freeze: Freeze unbaked pizza bombs and bake them directly from frozen, adding an extra 5 minutes to the bake time.
Tips for Success
- Don’t Overfill: Be cautious not to overstuff the dough, as it may burst during baking.
- Seal Tightly: Make sure the dough is fully sealed to prevent cheese from oozing out.
