Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients

Dough

  • 1 can Refrigerated biscuit dough (8 pieces)

Filling

  • 3/4 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 24 slices Pepperoni (3 per bomb)
  • 1/2 cup Pizza sauce (plus extra for dipping)
  • 3 tablespoons Melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
  • to taste Fresh parsley (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3-5 minutes while you assemble the pizza bombs.
  • Take each biscuit round and flatten it gently into a 4-inch circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
  • In the center of each dough circle, add 1 teaspoon of pizza sauce, 3 slices of pepperoni, and a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese. Be careful not to overfill, or the dough may tear.
  • Pull up the edges of the biscuit and tightly pinch them together to enclose the filling. Roll gently between your hands to make a well-sealed ball, ensuring no sauce or cheese is exposed.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan.
  • Arrange the pizza bombs seam side down in the air fryer basket. Don’t overcrowd—leave a little space around each for even cooking.
  • Brush the tops of the bombs with half of the garlic butter mixture.
  • Air fry at 350°F for 8-10 minutes, or until each bomb is golden brown, puffed up, and cooked through.
  • Immediately after cooking, brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
  • Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping—and enjoy!

Notes

Store any leftover pizza bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, pop them back into the air fryer at 325°F for 3-4 minutes.
