Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Bombs
- 1 can (8-count) Southern Homestyle buttermilk biscuits, not flaky
- 1 cup (257 g) pizza sauce, divided
- ½ cup (69 g) mini pepperoni slices, divided
- 4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 16 equal-sized cubes, divided
Garlic Butter
- ¼ cup (½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
- ¼ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 12-inch oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray. You can also use a greased baking dish, noting the cooking time may vary.
- Prepare Biscuits: Remove the biscuits from the can and place them on a clean work surface. Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit to about ⅛-inch thickness to create a thin dough.
- Add Fillings: Top each flattened biscuit with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon of mini pepperoni slices, and 2 cubes of mozzarella cheese, spreading evenly over the surface.
- Seal Pizza Bombs: Fold the edges of each biscuit together, pinching them tightly to seal with no holes or gaps. Place each bomb seam side down into the prepared skillet, repeating this process with all bombs.
- Bake: Bake the pizza bombs for 22 minutes or until they turn a golden brown color and are cooked through.
- Make Garlic Butter: In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan cheese to create a flavorful garlic butter mixture.
- Brush and Serve: After removing the pizza bombs from the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the tops. Serve with the remaining pizza sauce for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
- For an alternative cooking method, air fry assembled pizza bombs at 350°F for 12 minutes until golden brown; brush with garlic butter and serve with pizza sauce.
- You can substitute the mini pepperoni with other cured meats or vegetables to customize the filling.
- Use a rolling pin to ensure biscuits are evenly flattened for consistent cooking and sealing.
- Make sure to pinch the edges tightly to prevent cheese or sauce from leaking out during baking.
- If using a baking dish instead of skillet, monitor baking time as it may vary slightly.
