Ingredients
Scale
1 can (16.3 ounces) refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits)
1/2 cup pizza sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
1 tablespoon melted butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
Separate the biscuit dough into 8 biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your hands or a rolling pin until it forms a small circle.
Place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each flattened biscuit.
Top the sauce with a small amount of mozzarella cheese and 3-4 mini pepperoni slices.
Bring the edges of the biscuit dough up and around the filling, pinching the seams together firmly to seal the filling inside, forming a ball. Place the sealed ball seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all biscuits.
In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush this mixture evenly over the tops of the pizza bombs.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown and puffed.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For an extra savory flavor, brush the tops with melted garlic butter after baking instead of before.
You can substitute the biscuit dough with puff pastry squares if you prefer a flakier texture.
Use your favorite pizza toppings inside, such as cooked sausage or diced bell peppers.
