Print Recipe

Pepperoni pizza bombs are a quick, kid-friendly snack featuring gooey mozzarella, zesty pepperoni, and golden biscuit dough. With just five ingredients, these bite-sized treats are perfect for parties, after-school snacks, or easy appetizers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (16 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 24 slices pepperoni (regular or turkey)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • Optional: Italian seasoning, grated Parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a small bowl, mix shredded mozzarella and pizza sauce until evenly coated.
  4. Open biscuit dough and separate biscuits. Flatten each into a 3-inch circle (about 1/4-inch thick).
  5. Place 1-2 teaspoons of cheese-sauce mixture in the center of each biscuit, then top with 2-3 pepperoni slices.
  6. Gather edges of dough around filling and pinch tightly to seal. Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet.
  7. Brush each bomb with melted butter. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning or Parmesan if desired.
  8. Bake for 15-18 minutes, rotating tray halfway, until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Check doneness: tops should be golden and cheese bubbling at seams. If bottoms are pale, bake 2-3 minutes longer.
  10. Let pizza bombs cool 3-5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, use suitable biscuit dough and cheese substitutes. Don’t overfill to prevent leaks, and pinch seams tightly. Air fryer method: bake at 360°F for 10-12 minutes. Serve with dipping sauces like pizza sauce, ranch, or garlic butter.
