Ingredients

• For the Dough and Filling:
• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• ¾ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• ½ cup mini pepperoni slices
• For the Butter Topping:
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Optional Add-Ins:
• Marinara or pizza sauce (for dipping or adding inside)
• Crushed red pepper flakes (for heat)
• Chopped black olives, mushrooms, or green peppers (for extra flavor)

Preparation Method

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F or 190°C and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or cooking spray.

2. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.

3. Open the biscuit dough and separate it into pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle.

4. Place a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each circle. Add any extras if desired, without overfilling.

5. Pull the edges of the dough up around the filling, pinch them together tightly, and roll into a smooth ball.

6. Place the dough balls seam-side down on the baking sheet, spaced apart. Brush the tops with the garlic butter mixture.

7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed and golden brown, watching closely to avoid overbaking.

8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips and Conclusion

For the perfect accompaniment, serve your pizza bombs with a side of warm marinara or pizza sauce for dipping. Hosting a party?
