Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.

Spoon about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce into the center of each dough circle.

Add 2-3 slices of beef pepperoni and a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella on top of the sauce.

Bring the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching tightly to seal and form a ball.

Place the sealed side down in a greased baking dish or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese.

Brush each pizza bomb with the butter mixture.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.

  • Substitute fillings to suit dietary preferences, such as vegetarian or gluten-free options.

  • These bombs freeze beautifully, making them a great make-ahead option.

  • High-quality cheese and pepperoni elevate the flavor.

  • Brush with garlic butter before baking for a rich, savory finish.
