Prepare the Butter Topping
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside for later use.

Prepare the Dough
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Flatten each piece into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese (about 1 tablespoon) and mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough circle.

Seal the Pizza Bombs
Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and around the filling, pinching tightly at the top to seal. Roll the dough into a smooth ball, making sure there are no openings.

Arrange and Brush
Place the dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the butter mixture to give them flavor and promote even browning.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Serve
Remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Serving Suggestions

Perfect as a party snack, after-school treat, or game-day bite. Pair with a salad for a quick meal. Offer a variety of dipping sauces like ranch, garlic butter, or spicy marinara for extra fun.

Storage and Reheating

Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat: Warm in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes or microwave for 20–30 seconds. Freeze: Freeze unbaked pizza bombs and bake directly from frozen, adding an extra 5 minutes to the bake time.

Tips for Success

Don’t Overfill: Be careful not to overstuff the dough, as it may burst while baking. Seal Tightly: Ensure the dough is fully sealed to avoid cheese leakage. Add Variety: Customize with your favorite pizza toppings like sausage, mushrooms, or jalapeños.
