Delicious Cheesy Pizza Bombs (Printer-Friendly)

Soft biscuit bombs stuffed with melty mozzarella, pepperoni, and sauce. Golden, savory, and fun to serve.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Dough and Shell

01 - 1 can (16 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
02 - All-purpose flour, for dusting

→ Filling

03 - 8 teaspoons pizza sauce
04 - 8 tablespoons shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
05 - 1/3 cup mini pepperoni slices (or 8 tablespoons regular pepperoni, chopped)

→ Topping and Finish

06 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
07 - 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
08 - 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

→ Serving (optional)

09 - Extra pizza sauce, for dipping
10 - Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
02 - Lightly flour your work surface. Press each biscuit into a 4-inch round using your fingers, keeping the center slightly thicker to help prevent leaks.
03 - Place 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough round. Top with 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and about 2 teaspoons mini pepperoni (or a tablespoon chopped pepperoni).
04 - Gather dough edges up around the filling and pinch firmly to seal. Twist the top gently for extra security, then roll between hands to form a smooth ball. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Brush each dough ball all over with melted butter. Sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning and grated Parmesan cheese.
06 - Bake in preheated oven for 13–16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through, until golden brown and well-puffed.
07 - Serve warm on a platter with a bowl of pizza sauce for dipping. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired.

# Helpful Hints:

01 - Seal filled dough thoroughly to prevent cheese leakage during baking.
02 - Let dough rounds rest for 5 minutes before shaping to reduce elasticity.
03 - For advance prep, assemble up to a day ahead, refrigerate covered, and bake just before serving.
04 - For best results, avoid overfilling and always place bombs seam-side down on the baking sheet.
