What You’ll Need
1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count)

½ tsp garlic powder

Grated parmesan (optional)
Let’s Make Some Pizza Bombs
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment. Flatten each biscuit into a circle about 4 inches wide. In the center of each, place a spoonful of pizza sauce, 4 slices of pepperoni, and a cube of mozzarella. Fold up the edges and pinch to seal tight—like you’re wrapping a delicious little gift. Place seam-side down on your baking sheet. Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush over the tops of each bomb. Sprinkle with parmesan if you’re feeling fancy. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed. Let cool just a minute so you don’t burn your mouth, then serve with warm pizza sauce on the side.
Tips and Variations
Use shredded cheese if you don’t have cubes—just tuck it in tight
Try sausage, mushrooms, or olives for your own custom combos
Don’t skip the garlic butter topping—it’s the chef’s kiss
