  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

For the Pizza Bombs:

  • 1 can (8 oz) pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup pepperoni slices

For the Garlic Butter Coating:

  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

For Dipping:

  • Marinara sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll Out Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a rectangle.
  3. Cut Squares: Using a knife or pizza cutter, slice the dough into 3-inch squares.

Step 2: Assemble the Pizza Bombs

  1. Add Fillings: Place a small handful of shredded mozzarella and a few pepperoni slices in the center of each dough square.
  2. Seal the Bombs: Fold the dough over the filling, pinching the edges tightly to seal. Roll into a smooth ball to ensure no cheese leaks out during baking.

Step 3: Coat & Bake

  1. Prepare Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Coat the Bombs: Dip each dough ball into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  3. Bake:
    • Place the coated pizza bombs seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 4: Serve & Enjoy!

  1. Cool Slightly: Let the pizza bombs rest for a few minutes after baking.
  2. Serve Warm: Enjoy them with marinara sauce for dipping!
