# Ingredients List:
→ Dough and Fillings
01 -
2 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
02 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
04 -
1 can (8 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough
05 -
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
06 -
1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F or set the air fryer to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning until evenly combined.
03 -
Open the biscuit can and separate the dough portions. Gently flatten each piece with your fingers to form a round disc.
04 -
Place approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough round.
05 -
Pinch the edges of each dough round firmly to enclose the filling, forming a sealed ball. Roll gently to smooth the exterior.
06 -
Arrange the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the seasoned butter mixture. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or air fry for 8 minutes, until golden brown.
07 -
Allow the pizza bombs to cool for several minutes before serving. Accompany with warm marinara or ranch for dipping, if desired.
# Extra Information:
01 -
Mini pepperoni can be replaced with diced regular or turkey pepperoni for variation.
02 -
For extra shine and flavor, brush additional melted butter over the tops immediately after baking.
03 -
These bites make excellent party appetizers or after-school snacks.
