🍕 Pepperoni Pizza Bombs
Ingredients (makes 12–16 bombs)
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 20–30 slices pepperoni, cut in half if large
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for brushing)
- Optional: grated Parmesan for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven
- 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare dough
- Roll pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut into squares, roughly 3×3 inches.
- Assemble the bombs
- Place a small spoonful of mozzarella and a few slices of pepperoni in the center of each square.
- Add a teaspoon of pizza sauce on top.
- Fold dough over filling and pinch edges to seal completely, forming a ball.
- Bake
- Place bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Optional: brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan.
- Bake 15–20 minutes, until golden brown.
- Serve
- Serve hot with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
💡 Tips
- Make sure to seal the dough tightly so cheese doesn’t leak during baking.
- You can add extras like sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked sausage inside.
- Leftovers can be reheated in the oven for 5–7 minutes to keep them crispy.
I can also provide a slow-cooker version or air fryer version for even quicker results if you want.
