Easy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are a quick and delicious lunch option featuring seasoned biscuit dough stuffed with melted mozzarella and mini pepperoni slices. These golden-brown, bite-sized treats are perfect for dipping and serving as a fun snack or light meal.

Ingredients

Dough and Fillings

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven or air fryer. Preheat your oven to 375°F or an air fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper if using the oven.
  2. Prepare the seasoning butter. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
  3. Prepare the dough rounds. Open the can of refrigerated biscuit dough and separate each piece. Flatten each piece gently with your fingers to form a round.
  4. Fill the dough. Place a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese and several mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough round.
  5. Seal the dough. Pinch the edges of the dough together to completely seal the filling inside, then gently roll to form a smooth ball.
  6. Arrange and brush. Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet or air fryer basket. Brush the tops with the seasoned butter mixture.
  7. Cook until golden. Bake in the oven for 15 minutes or air fry for 8 minutes until the bombs are golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Cool and serve. Allow the pizza bombs to cool slightly before serving. Serve with marinara or ranch dip as desired.

Notes

  • To ensure the cheese does not leak during baking, make sure to pinch the dough edges tightly when sealing.
  • You can substitute mini pepperoni with other fillings like cooked sausage, veggies, or different cheeses for variation.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the dough balls with butter twice: once before baking and once halfway through the cook time.
  • If using an air fryer, check for doneness at 7 minutes to avoid overcooking, as air fryer models can vary.
  • Serve warm for the best cheesy, melty experience.
