Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Description

Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are cheesy, golden-brown bites filled with gooey mozzarella cheese, savory pepperoni, and pizza sauce wrapped inside soft dough. These irresistible handheld snacks are perfect for game days, parties, quick dinners, or fun family treats. Crispy on the outside and melty on the inside, they deliver all the flavors of pizza in bite-sized form.

Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
  • 24 slices pepperoni
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, cubed or shredded
  • ¼ cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Optional: grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Flatten each biscuit or dough piece into a small circle.
  3. Place a small spoonful of pizza sauce in the center.
  4. Add mozzarella cheese and 2–3 pepperoni slices.
  5. Fold dough around the filling and pinch tightly to seal.
  6. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  7. Mix melted butter with Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Brush over each pizza bomb.
  8. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired.
  9. Bake for 15–18 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.

Notes
