How to Make Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Ingredients

2 tablespoons melted butter (Brush with extra butter after baking)
1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough (Can also use crescent roll dough or pizza dough)

½ cup mini pepperoni slices (Can substitute with chopped regular or turkey pepperoni)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Take the biscuit dough and cut each piece into quarters.
Place a piece of dough in your hand and add a spoonful of mozzarella cheese, a few mini pepperoni slices, a sprinkle of garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
Pinch the dough together to seal, forming a ball. Make sure it’s fully closed.
Place the dough balls on the lined baking sheet, seam side down.
Brush the tops with melted butter for extra flavor.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
