Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
• 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 16 pepperoni slices (or more if desired)
• 1/2 cup marinara or pizza sauce (for filling and dipping)
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
2. Prepare the Biscuit Dough:
   • Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
3. Assemble the Pizza Bombs:
   • Place a spoonful of marinara or pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle.
   • Add a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese and a couple of pepperoni slices on top of the sauce.
   • Carefully pull the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching them together to seal. Roll the dough into a smooth ball and place it seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Season the Pizza Bombs:
   • In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the tops of the pizza bombs.
5. Bake:
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and puffed.
6. Garnish and Serve:
   • Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and additional Italian seasoning, if desired. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce on the side for dipping.
