Make these simple, cheesy pizza bombs using refrigerated biscuit dough for a quick appetizer or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refrigerated biscuit dough
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup cooked, crumbled Italian sausage or pepperoni, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 teaspoon water (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a baking sheet.
  2. Separate the biscuit dough into individual biscuits. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin to create a thin circle.
  3. Place about 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each flattened biscuit.
  4. Top the sauce with a small amount of mozzarella cheese and your chosen meat topping. Do not overfill.
  5. Fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching the seams together tightly to seal the dough completely into a ball. Roll gently between your palms if needed to smooth the seams.
  6. Place the sealed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pizza bombs lightly with the egg wash.
  8. Sprinkle the tops with Parmesan cheese and garlic powder.
  9. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For an air fryer method, cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 to 10 minutes, checking frequently to prevent burning.
  • If you want a crispier crust, brush the tops with melted butter instead of the egg wash.
  • Serve immediately with extra pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
