- 24 slices pepperoni (about 3 slices per bomb)

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Prepare the Dough

Separate the biscuits from the can and cut each biscuit in half, creating 16 pieces.

Step 3: Fill the Bombs

Flatten each biscuit half with your fingers into a small circle.
Add a small spoonful of marinara sauce in the center of each piece.
Top with 2-3 slices of pepperoni and a small handful of shredded mozzarella cheese (or one small piece of cheese stick).

Step 4: Seal the Bombs

Carefully fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch them together to seal completely, ensuring there are no gaps where the cheese could leak out during baking.
Place each stuffed dough ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Add Seasoning

In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Brush this mixture over the tops of the pizza bombs, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Step 6: Bake the Pizza Bombs

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted inside.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Once baked, remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool slightly.
Garnish with chopped basil or parsley, if desired.
Serve warm with extra marinara or pizza sauce for dipping.

Notes

Customize the Filling: Try adding diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or even sausage to change up the flavor.
Make-Ahead: You can prepare the pizza bombs ahead of time, refrigerate them, and bake them when you’re ready to serve. They also reheat well in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
