Ingredients
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)
- 32 slices pepperoni
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Marinara sauce for dipping
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Open the biscuit dough and separate it into individual biscuits. Using your fingers or a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a 3-4 inch circle.
- Place 3 to 4 slices of pepperoni in the center of each flattened biscuit.
- Add about a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.
- Carefully bring the edges of the dough together and pinch to seal, forming a tight ball. Make sure no filling is peeking out to prevent leaks during baking.
- Place the sealed balls seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the butter mixture generously over each pizza bomb.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the pizza bombs for extra flavor and a beautiful golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 to 18 minutes or until the pizza bombs are puffed and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy the explosion of flavors in every bite!
