Baking Tips
Make sure to seal the edges of the biscuits completely to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking
For a shortcut, use string cheese cut into pieces instead of mozzarella cubes
If you can't find refrigerated biscuit dough, pizza dough or crescent roll dough works too
Don't overfill the biscuits or they'll be difficult to seal properly
For even cooking, make sure all pizza bombs are roughly the same size
Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier
Allow pizza bombs to cool for a few minutes before serving to prevent burning from the hot cheese
Experiment with different cheeses - a mixture of mozzarella and cheddar adds great flavor
Make ahead and refrigerate the assembled but unbaked pizza bombs for up to 4 hours before baking
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to each bomb before sealing

Instructions

01
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02
Open the biscuit cans and separate the 16 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit with your palm to form a 3-inch circle.
03
Place 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each flattened biscuit.
04
Add 3 slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce.
05
Place one cube of mozzarella cheese on top of the pepperoni.
06
Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over each.
07
Carefully fold the edges of the biscuit up and around the filling, pinching the seams firmly to seal completely. Roll gently between your palms to form a ball shape.
08
Place the sealed pizza bombs on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down, about 2 inches apart.
09
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder, dried parsley, and salt.
10
Brush the tops of each pizza bomb generously with the garlic butter mixture.
11
Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the pizza bombs.
12
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
13
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes (the filling will be extremely hot).
14
Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
