Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices
- Optional: Marinara sauce, for dipping
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare butter mixture: In a small bowl, mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
- Fill biscuits: Separate biscuit dough into 8 pieces. Flatten each piece slightly and place a spoonful of mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center.
- Seal bombs: Carefully pinch the edges together to seal the filling inside, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Brush with butter: Brush each dough ball with the seasoned butter mixture.
- Bake: Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
- Serve: Serve warm with marinara dipping sauce, if desired.
Storage & Reheating
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, or in the air fryer for 3–4 minutes.
- Not freezer-friendly, as biscuit dough loses texture when thawed.
Why This Recipe Works
- Shortcut dough: Using refrigerated biscuits makes prep fast and foolproof.
- Classic pizza flavors: Mozzarella and pepperoni deliver that authentic pizza taste in every bite.
- Garlic butter topping: Adds aroma, flavor, and the perfect golden crust.
Expert Tips
- Don’t overfill the biscuits — too much filling may cause them to burst open.
- Brush extra garlic butter on after baking for more flavor.
- Experiment with fillings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or jalapeños.
