Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 3/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Melts beautifully for a gooey center; feel free to swap with cheddar or provolone for a different flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Mini Pepperoni Slices Perfectly sized for stuffing; regular or turkey pepperoni can be diced for a lighter option.
For the Dough
  • 8 oz Refrigerated Biscuit Dough A convenient base that makes prep fast; swap with crescent roll dough or pizza dough, but watch the cooking time.
For the Topping
  • Melted Butter Gives a rich flavor and a golden finish; garlic-infused oil can add an extra layer of deliciousness.
  • Garlic Powder Introduces a bold aroma and taste; fresh minced garlic can intensify the flavor, just adjust to your liking.
  • Italian Seasoning Brings in classic pizza herbs like oregano and basil; you can use individual dried herbs if preferred.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Pepperoni Pizza Bombs
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or your air fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to create a fragrant mixture.
  3. Open the refrigerated biscuit dough and gently separate the individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit into a round shape, approximately 3 inches in diameter.
  4. In the center of each flattened biscuit, place about one tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese followed by a few mini pepperoni slices.
  5. Carefully pinch the edges of the biscuit dough together to seal in the filling. Roll the dough between your palms to form a smooth ball.
  6. Place the formed dough balls seam-side down on your prepared baking sheet or air fryer basket. Brush the tops with the seasoned butter mixture.
  7. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or air fry for about 8 minutes until puffed and golden.
  8. Allow the Pepperoni Pizza Bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving. Pair them with marinara or ranch dip.
