Delicious and gooey pizza bombs featuring biscuit dough stuffed with marinara sauce, pepperoni, and mozzarella, baked to golden perfection and brushed with a flavorful garlic butter mixture.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pizza Bombs

  • 3 tablespoons butter, for greasing the pan
  • 16 ½ oz can of biscuit dough (1 can)
  • Marinara sauce, as needed
  • Sliced pepperoni, as needed
  • 8 oz ball of mozzarella cheese, cut into cubes

For the Garlic Butter Topping

  • Butter, melted (about 2 tablespoons)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Shredded Parmesan cheese, for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it with 3 tablespoons of butter to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Biscuit Dough: Cut each biscuit in half. Using your thumb, press each half into a flat circular shape to form a small pizza base.
  3. Add Filling: Place a small dollop of marinara sauce in the center of each biscuit round, followed by one slice of pepperoni and a cube of mozzarella cheese.
  4. Seal Pizza Bombs: Gather the edges of the biscuit dough up and pinch them together tightly to enclose the filling, making sure there are no gaps for the filling to leak during baking. Place the sealed pizza bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.
  5. Make Garlic Butter Mixture: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Stir well to infuse the flavors.
  6. Brush and Sprinkle: Brush each pizza bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture. Then sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the top for a flavorful finish.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the pizza bombs to cool enough to handle, then serve them warm with extra marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
  9. Enjoy: Enjoy these cheesy, savory pizza bombs as a perfect appetizer, snack, or party treat!

Notes

  • Ensure the edges of the biscuit dough are sealed tightly to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Feel free to customize fillings with other favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or sausage.
  • The pizza bombs are best served warm for melty cheese and optimal flavor.
  • Marinara sauce can be homemade or store-bought, depending on preference.
  • Keep an eye on baking time as ovens vary; remove when bombs are golden brown.
