These Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are a delightful, bite-sized snack that combines the flavors of classic pepperoni pizza with soft, fluffy biscuit dough. Each bomb is stuffed with gooey mozzarella and savory mini pepperoni, then brushed with a buttery garlic and Italian seasoning blend, making them perfect for parties, game days, or a fun appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 oz can, 8 count)
  • 0.75 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1.5 tablespoons per bomb)
  • 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat for optimal baking results.
  2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough: Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate it into 8 individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a roughly 4-inch diameter circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
  3. Add the Fillings: On each flattened biscuit, evenly distribute about 1.5 tablespoons of shredded mozzarella cheese and mini pepperoni slices.
  4. Form the Pizza Bombs: Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the cheese and pepperoni, pinching the seams together to seal completely, forming a ball or ‘bomb’ shape.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the sealed pizza bombs seam side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat for easy cleanup.
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter Topping: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning to create a flavorful brushing mixture.
  7. Brush the Pizza Bombs: Using a pastry brush, generously coat the tops of each pizza bomb with the garlic butter mixture to add flavor and enhance browning.
  8. Bake: Bake the pizza bombs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese inside is bubbly and melted.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving to avoid burning the mouth. Serve warm with marinara or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can substitute mini pepperoni with chopped regular pepperoni if mini slices are unavailable.
  • For extra flavor, add a little marinara sauce inside each bomb before sealing.
  • Ensure the dough is properly sealed to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
  • If preferred, sprinkle a bit of extra Italian seasoning or parmesan cheese on top before baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispness.
