Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough 8 oz
  • 0.75 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup mini pepperoni slices

Equipment

  • Oven or air fryer
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Small bowl
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (or preheat your air fryer to 350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. In a small bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Set aside to let flavors meld.
  3. Open the biscuit can and separate the dough. Flatten each piece slightly with your fingers, creating a round disc.
  4. Place a small amount of mozzarella (about 1.5 tablespoons) and a few pepperoni slices (3-4 pieces) in the center of each dough round.
  5. Carefully gather the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching firmly to seal. Roll gently into a smooth ball.
  6. Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Brush the tops generously with the seasoned butter mixture, making sure to coat each pizza bomb completely.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes in the oven (or air fry for about 8 minutes) until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let them cool for 3-4 minutes before serving to allow the cheese to set slightly. Serve with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Don't overfill the dough - too much cheese and pepperoni will cause the bombs to leak during baking. Seal edges carefully by pinching firmly and placing seam-side down. For best results, brush generously with the seasoned butter. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days and reheat in the oven or air fryer for optimal texture.
