🍕🔥 Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Pepperoni pizza bombs are bite-sized, cheesy pockets of pizza dough stuffed with pepperoni, sauce, and mozzarella—crispy on the outside, gooey inside. Great for snacks, parties, or quick comfort food.

🧾 Ingredients (makes ~12–16 bombs)

1 can refrigerated biscuit dough or pizza dough
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
24–40 slices pepperoni (about 2–3 per bomb)
½ cup pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
1–2 tbsp butter, melted
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Optional: grated Parmesan, chili flakes

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat oven

Set oven to 190°C (375°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

2. Prep dough

Separate dough into small equal portions.
Flatten each piece into a small circle.

3. Fill the bombs

Add:
- 1–2 tsp pizza sauce
- A pinch of mozzarella
- 2–3 pepperoni slices
Don’t overfill (they need to seal properly).

4. Seal tightly

Pull edges of dough together and pinch closed.
Roll gently into a smooth ball.

5. Bake

Place seam-side down on tray.
Brush tops with melted butter mixed with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown.

6. Finish

Sprinkle Parmesan on top while hot.
Serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.

💡 Tips for best results

Seal dough very well to prevent cheese leakage.
Use cold pepperoni and cheese for easier handling.
Don’t overload filling—less is more.
Bake until deep golden for crisp outer texture.

🔥 Variations

Cheesy garlic bombs: skip pepperoni, add extra mozzarella + garlic butter
Spicy version: add jalapeños or chili flakes
BBQ pizza bombs: swap sauce for BBQ sauce + chicken
Stuffed crust style: add a small cube of cheese in the center

If you want, I can also make you a air fryer version (faster and crispier), a deep-fried pizza bomb version, or a 5-minute frozen dough hack version.
