Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are crispy, golden pockets filled with gooey mozzarella, zesty pepperoni, and savory marinara sauce. Perfect for game nights, parties, or quick snacks, these bite-sized delights combine classic pizza flavors in an easy-to-make, shareable treat that’s loved by kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Dough and Base

  • Store-bought or homemade pizza dough
  • Olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Fillings

  • Pepperoni slices
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Marinara sauce

Seasonings and Optional Toppings

  • Italian seasoning (oregano, basil, etc.)
  • Parmesan cheese (optional, for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick, making it easy to cut into squares for your pizza bombs.
  2. Add the fillings: Place a spoonful of marinara sauce on each dough square, followed by slices of pepperoni and a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.
  3. Seal the bombs: Fold each piece of dough over the fillings to form a sealed pouch, pinching edges tightly to prevent any cheesy goodness from leaking out during baking.
  4. Brush with oil and season: Brush each pizza bomb with olive oil or melted butter, then sprinkle with Italian seasoning and a bit of parmesan cheese if you like for extra flavor and crispiness.
  5. Bake to perfection: Arrange the bombs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill to prevent bombs from bursting open during baking.
  • Use cold fillings to keep dough from becoming soggy.
  • Seal edges firmly with a fork or fingers to contain fillings.
  • Brush generously with oil or butter for a crispy, evenly browned crust.
  • If using homemade dough, allow proper rising for best texture.
