Pepperoni Pizza Bombs


  • Author: faironplay.com
  • Total Time: 30 min
  • Yield: 12 pieces 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Bite-sized pockets of pizza dough filled with cheese and pepperoni, baked until golden.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Unroll the pizza dough onto a clean surface. Cut the dough into 12 equal squares.
  3. Place about 1 teaspoon of mozzarella cheese and 3-4 mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough square.
  4. Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce over the filling.
  5. Bring the corners of the dough square together over the filling and pinch the edges firmly to seal, forming a ball. Place the sealed bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic powder. Brush the tops of the pizza bombs with the butter mixture.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  8. Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • You can substitute regular pepperoni, chopped small, for the mini slices.
  • For a crispier crust, lightly spray the tops with cooking spray before brushing with butter.
