pizza bombs

Pizza Bombs are buttermilk biscuits filled with pizza sauce, pepperoni slices, and mozzarella cheese, baked to perfection, and brushed with garlic parmesan butter.

Pizza Bombs

(8-count) Southern Homestyle buttermilk biscuits, (not flaky)

(257 g) pizza sauce, (divided)

(69 g) mini pepperoni slices, (divided)

mozzarella

(½ stick / 57 g) unsalted butter, (melted)

garlic salt

Italian seasoning

parmesan cheese, (grated)

Preheat oven. Spray oven-safe skillet with nonstick cooking spray.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and spray a 12-inch, oven-safe skillet with nonstick spray. (You could also use a greased baking dish, but the cooking time may vary.)

Flatten each biscuit.

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.

Top each biscuit with sauce, pepperoni, and cheese.

Top each biscuit with 1 tablespoon of pizza sauce, 1 tablespoon pepperoni slices, and 2 cubes of mozzarella cheese.

Roll ingredients into biscuits.

Fold the edges of the biscuit together, pinching them tightly so there are no holes or gaps. Place the bomb seam side down into the prepared skillet. Repeat with the remaining bombs.

Bake.

Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.

Make garlic butter.

In a small bowl, mix together the melted butter, garlic salt, Italian seasoning, and parmesan cheese.

Brush garlic butter over the tops.

After removing the pizza bombs from the oven, brush the garlic butter mixture over the top.

Serve warm with pizza sauce.

Serve with the remaining pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

Garlic Butter

These Air Fryer Pizza Bombs start with refrigerated biscuit dough that gets stuffed with mozzarella and pepperoni, brushed with garlic butter, and then cooked in the air fryer for 5 minutes. The perfect snack!

Air Fryer Pizza Bombs

8 count refrigerated biscuits (see notes)

pepperoni

mozzarella cheese (room temperature)

butter

garlic powder

pizza sauce

Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit in half to form 16 thin biscuit pieces.

Cut the pepperoni slices into quarters and place 8 bits of pepperoni in the center of each biscuit. 

Chop the mozzarella into 16 cubes. Place one cube in the center of each biscuit.

Fold up the edges of the biscuit to fold the pepperoni and cheese into the center. Roll into a ball, sealing the edges so the cheese does not leak out.

Place the biscuits in an air fryer basket in an even layer, leaving space between each for air to flow.

Add the butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a small bowl and whisk to combine.

Brush the butter mixture over the dough.

Air fry at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes, or until dough is golden brown and cooked through.

Warm the pizza sauce in the microwave and serve with the pizza bombs for dipping.

Omg! So delicious and easy! Thanks for this recipe!

These also make great lunches because, just like pizza pockets, the kids can just pop them in their lunch and heat them up for 30 seconds before eating!
