Ingredients
Scale
For the Pizza Bombs:
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices (ensure they are halal if needed)
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
For Dipping:
- Marinara or pizza sauce
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pizza bombs from sticking.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Separate each biscuit and flatten each piece slightly using your hands or a rolling pin to form a small circle.
- Assemble the Pizza Bombs:
- Place a spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough circle.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling to form a ball. Pinch the edges tightly to seal the pizza bombs.
- Add Seasoning:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush each dough ball with the seasoned butter mixture to give them a golden, flavorful finish.
- Bake:
- Place the prepared pizza bombs on the baking sheet with the sealed side down. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve:
- Serve the warm pizza bombs with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- If you need a halal version, ensure to use halal-certified mini pepperoni slices or substitute with vegetarian pepperoni or other protein alternatives.
- You can add extra toppings like olives, bell peppers, or mushrooms inside the pizza bombs for more variety.
- For extra cheesiness, try adding parmesan cheese to the filling or on top of the pizza bombs before baking.
