Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Print Recipe

Warm, melty, and easy to make, these pizza bombs are a great snack or party food filled with mozzarella, pepperoni, and seasoning, all encased in soft pizza dough.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Open the can of refrigerated pizza dough and unroll it onto a clean surface.
  3. Cut the pizza dough into squares, about 2 inches on each side.
  4. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the surface to prevent the dough from sticking.
  5. Take the shredded mozzarella cheese and place a heaping tablespoon in the center of each dough square.
  6. Add a slice or two of pepperoni on top of the cheese in the center of each square.
  7. Sprinkle a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese over the pepperoni and mozzarella.
  8. Dust a light pinch of garlic powder and dried oregano over the cheese and pepperoni.
  9. Carefully fold the corners of each dough square in toward the center, sealing the filling inside to form a ball.
  10. Gently roll each dough ball between your hands to ensure it’s fully sealed and round.
  11. Arrange the dough balls on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
  12. Brush the tops of the dough balls with olive oil using a pastry brush.
  13. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and puffed up.
  14. While the pizza bombs are baking, pour the marinara sauce into a small dipping bowl.
  15. Once the pizza bombs are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
  16. Serve warm with the marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Seal edges well to avoid cheese leaks while baking. Use full slices or chop pepperoni to fit small dough squares. Let bombs cool a bit before biting to avoid hot cheese burns.
