Delicious Cheesy Pizza Bombs (Printer-Friendly)

Flaky biscuit shells filled with melty cheese, zesty sauce, and pepperoni for perfect bite-sized snacks.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dough and Base

01 - 1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 count)
02 - All-purpose flour, for dusting

→ Filling

03 - 8 teaspoons pizza sauce
04 - 8 tablespoons shredded mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices

→ Topping

06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
08 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

# Steps to Make This:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Separate biscuit dough and press each piece into a 4-inch circle using your fingertips, keeping the center slightly thicker to prevent filling leaks.
02 - Place 1 teaspoon pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese, and several mini pepperoni pieces in the center of each dough circle. Leave the edges free of filling for secure sealing.
03 - Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal tightly. Twist the seam lightly and roll each into a smooth ball. Arrange seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Brush the top and sides of each dough ball with melted butter. Sprinkle Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the surface for flavor and color.
05 - Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the exterior is golden brown and fully risen. Check after 12 minutes; adjust baking time as needed for your oven.
06 - Allow pizza bombs to cool slightly. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping, garnished with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Seal each bomb thoroughly to prevent cheese from leaking during baking.
02 - Overfilling with sauce or cheese may cause bursting; use measured amounts for best results.
03 - Par-baked bombs can be refrigerated for up to 24 hours or frozen before baking. Add additional baking time if cold.
04 - Rest shaped dough for 5 minutes before baking to allow the dough to relax, promoting even rising.
