Description
Bite-sized pockets of pizza dough filled with pepperoni, cheese, and sauce, baked until golden brown.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Unroll the pizza dough and separate it into 8 equal pieces.
- Flatten each piece of dough into a small circle.
- Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, and a dab of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle.
- Fold the dough over the filling and pinch the edges firmly together to seal, forming a ball. Place the sealed balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the pizza bombs.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.
Notes
- You can substitute other small pizza toppings like cooked sausage or diced ham.
- For a crispier crust, spray the tops lightly with cooking spray before brushing with butter.
