Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Step 2

Lightly flour counter top.

Step 3

Place 12 dinner rolls on a microwave safe plate and microwave on defrost for about 2 minutes (or until dough is no longer frozen, but not cooked). Cut dinner rolls in half with kitchen shears. Repeat with the remaining 12.

Step 4

Meanwhile cut cheese into 48 even pieces, about 1/2 ounce each. Prepare a casserole dish by spraying with non stick cooking spray (approximately 9”x13”). Set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl melt butter. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside.

Step 6

Toss 1 piece of dough in flour and flatten and stretch like you are making a mini pizza. Stretch dough to about 3” across.

Step 7

Add a pinch of mini pepperoni (about 6 pieces) and a piece of cheese. Pull the edges of the dough together to create a ball. If they ball won’t seal, tap your finger tips into the flour and crimp the seal together.

Step 8

Place pizza bombs in the bowl with the butter mixture. Lightly toss to coat. Repeat until all are in bowl. Add 3/4 of Parmesan cheese (reserving a little for the last few minutes in the oven) to bowl. Toss to combine. If any pizza bombs open, lightly tap fingers in flour and recrimp edges.

Step 9

Place pizza bombs in prepared dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the pizza bombs are no longer doughy. Sprinkle with cheese the last 5 minutes of bake time.

Step 10

Remove from oven. Place on a serving tray. Serve with marinara or alone.

Step 11

Enjoy!
