Soft dough filled with gooey mozzarella cheese and savory pepperoni, baked to golden perfection and brushed with a flavorful garlic butter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 2 tablespoons marinara or pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  • Prepare Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a circle approximately 4 inches in diameter.

  • Add Fillings: Place about 1 teaspoon of marinara sauce in the center of each dough circle. Add a pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese and 2-3 mini pepperoni slices on top of the sauce.

  • Form the Bombs: Carefully fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to seal and form a ball. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.

  • Season the Tops: In a small bowl, mix the melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over the top of each dough ball. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top.

  • Bake: Place the filled dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown.

  • Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired. Serve warm with additional marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Dough Alternatives: If you prefer, you can use pizza dough or crescent roll dough instead of biscuit dough.

  • Filling Variations: Feel free to customize the fillings by adding ingredients like diced bell peppers, olives, mushrooms, or using different cheeses.

  • Storage and Reheating: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until warmed throug
