Here’s a fun and delicious recipe for Pepperoni Pizza Bombs! These little bites are perfect for a party, snack, or even a meal, and they’re packed with cheesy, pepperoni goodness.
Ingredients:
- 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough (or homemade pizza dough if you prefer)
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup mini pepperoni slices (or regular pepperoni, cut into smaller pieces)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a clean surface and cut it into 12 even squares (about 2×2 inches each).
- Assemble the pizza bombs:
- Place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square.
- Add a few mini pepperoni slices (about 4-5) on top of the cheese.
- Sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the filling for extra flavor.
- Carefully fold the corners of the dough square toward the center to form a little ball. Pinch the seams together to seal them tightly.
- Arrange on the baking sheet: Place the pizza bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops of the pizza bombs with the melted butter and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and a pinch of salt.
- Bake: Bake the pizza bombs for 12-15 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve: Let them cool for a minute or two before serving. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.
These pizza bombs are super fun to eat and perfect for serving at any gathering! They’re easy to customize—feel free to swap the pepperoni with sausage, veggies, or any other pizza toppings you like. Enjoy!
