Ingredients for Pepperoni Pizza Bombs:
- 1 can biscuit dough (16.3 oz)
- Marinara sauce
- Pepperoni
- Cube of Mozzarella cheese
- Butter
- Minced garlic
- Italian seasoning
- Parmesan cheese (to top)
- Nonstick cooking spray
Directions for Pepperoni Pizza Bombs:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Open the can of biscuit dough and cut each biscuit in half. Press each half into a round disk with your hands or a rolling pin.
3. Place approximately 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce, a few slices of pepperoni, and a cube of Mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough round.
4. Bring the edges of the dough together, pinching them well to seal the filling inside.
5. Place the pizza bombs on the prepared cookie sheet, leaving some space between them for expansion.
6. In a small bowl, mix together melted butter, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.
7. Brush each pizza bomb with the garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor.
8. Bake the pizza bombs in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the biscuit dough turns golden brown.
9. Once baked, remove the pizza bombs from the oven and serve them immediately. They are best enjoyed when warm and gooey. Provide marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
Tips for Perfect Pepperoni Pizza Bombs:
– Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as cheddar or provolone, to suit your taste preferences.
– For a vegetarian option, substitute the pepperoni with your favorite veggies, like sliced mushrooms or bell peppers.
– Customize the flavor by adding additional seasonings like crushed red pepper flakes or dried basil.
– Make sure to seal the pizza bombs tightly to prevent any cheese leakage during baking.
– Serve the pizza bombs as an appetizer, snack, or even as a fun addition to a party or game night.
Can I make the biscuit dough from scratch instead of using canned dough?
Yes, you can prepare homemade biscuit dough if you prefer. Ensure that the dough is rolled out to a similar thickness as the canned dough and adjust the baking time accordingly.
Can I freeze the unbaked pizza bombs for later use?
Yes, you can freeze the unbaked pizza bombs on a baking sheet. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer bag. When ready to bake, follow the same baking instructions, but allow for a slightly longer cooking time.
How can I reheat the leftover pizza bombs?
To reheat the pizza bombs, place them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving, as it may result in a soggy texture.
Can I use a different sauce for dipping?
Absolutely! While marinara sauce is the classic choice, you can use other sauces like ranch dressing or garlic aioli for a different flavor profile.
