Irresistible Pepperoni Pizza Bombs


  • Author: recipebychefs.com
  • Total Time: 30 min
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

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

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough and separate it into 8 equal pieces.
  3. Flatten each piece of dough into a small circle.
  4. Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese, a few pepperoni slices, and a dab of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle.
  5. 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.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture over the tops of the pizza bombs.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  8. 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.
