Ingredients
Dough
1canRefrigerated biscuit dough(8 pieces)
Filling
3/4cupShredded mozzarella cheese
24slicesPepperoni(3 per bomb)
1/2cupPizza sauce(plus extra for dipping)
3tablespoonsMelted butter
1teaspoonGarlic powder
1teaspoonItalian seasoning
2tablespoonsGrated Parmesan cheese
to tasteFresh 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.
