Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Separate the biscuit dough and flatten each piece into a small 3-inch circle.

Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Bombs
Spoon 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce onto the center of each dough circle.
Add 2 slices of pepperoni and a generous pinch of mozzarella cheese.
Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching tightly to seal into a ball shape.
Place the sealed side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3: Bake the Pizza Bombs
In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Brush the butter mixture over the tops of the pizza bombs.
Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy
Let cool slightly before serving.
Serve with extra pizza sauce, ranch, or marinara for dipping.
