📋 Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon melted butter 🧈
- ½ cup pizza sauce 🍅
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder 🧄
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning 🌿
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀
- 20 slices of pepperoni 🍖
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 🥖
📝 Directions
1️⃣ Preheat & Prep:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet. This helps prevent sticking and ensures a golden crust.
2️⃣ Assemble the Pizza Bombs:
Flatten each piece of biscuit dough into a small disc. In the center, spoon a small amount of pizza sauce, then add shredded mozzarella and 2 slices of pepperoni.
3️⃣ Seal the Dough:
Gently bring the edges of the dough together, pinching tightly to seal. Roll it into a smooth ball, ensuring no gaps where the cheese could escape.
4️⃣ Season & Top:
Place each pizza bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with melted butter, then sprinkle garlic powder and Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
5️⃣ Bake to Perfection:
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.
6️⃣ Serve & Enjoy:
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. For extra cheesiness, you can sprinkle more mozzarella on top before baking!
🌱 Nutritional Information & Dietary Concerns
These Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are a fantastic source of energy with their balance of carbohydrates, fats, and protein. The biscuit dough provides a soft, slightly crispy base, while the cheese offers a good amount of calcium and protein. Pepperoni adds savory richness but also contributes sodium and fat, so moderation is key.
For a healthier option, you can use whole wheat biscuit dough or swap pepperoni for leaner meats like turkey slices. A vegetarian version can be made with mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives. Those avoiding dairy can use vegan cheese alternatives.
