Description
If you love pizza but want something fun, fast, and perfect for sharing, these Pizza Bombs are about to become your new favorite recipe. They’re soft and fluffy on the outside, filled with melty cheese, savory pepperoni, and tangy marinara on the inside—then brushed with garlic butter and baked until golden. Easy enough for a weeknight, irresistible enough for parties.
Ingredients
-
1 can (16.3 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
-
1 cup marinara sauce (plus extra for dipping)
-
1½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
-
½ cup pepperoni slices (regular or mini)
-
¼ cup butter, melted
-
½ teaspoon garlic powder
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat oven
Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Prepare the dough
Separate biscuits and flatten each into a 4–5 inch circle. -
Fill
Spoon about 1 tablespoon marinara into the center. Add mozzarella and 2–3 slices of pepperoni. -
Seal
Pull dough edges up around the filling, pinch tightly to seal, and roll gently into a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet. -
Butter & top
Mix melted butter with garlic powder. Brush over each dough ball and sprinkle with Parmesan. -
Bake
Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through. -
Cool slightly & serve
Let cool 5 minutes before serving with warm marinara for dipping.
Notes
-
Don’t overfill: Too much sauce or cheese can cause leaks.
-
Seal well: Pinch firmly and roll smooth to keep the filling inside.
-
Extra flavor: Add Italian seasoning or red pepper flakes to the butter.
-
Make ahead: Assemble and freeze unbaked; bake from frozen with 5–7 extra minutes.
