Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Looking for something cheesy to munch on? How about these Pepperoni Pizza Bombs?

These Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are the real deal made with real homemade pizza dough and filled with cheese and pepperoni.

Sunday's in this house means two things, sports on the television and awesome food.

With a house full of guests, the last thing I want to do is serve something boring and expected.

That’s why I turn to my favorite game day appetizer recipes that are more exciting and delicious.

Here’s my Pepperoni Pizza Bombs recipe for a full day of football and pizza goodness.

Some Pizza Bomb recipes are made using canned biscuits.

While they taste pretty good and are okay when in a pinch I'm here to show you how easy it can be to make them with a homemade pizza dough.

All you need is a couple of envelopes of pizza dough mix or my favorite and amazing personal pan pizza dough recipe.

Making Pizza Bombs with real pizza dough tastes so much better.

And these Pepperoni Pizza Bombs are going to be the hit of your family. They're going to be begging for more!

You can find jarred pizza sauce at the store but if you are so inclined you can make an easy chunky homemade pizza sauce along with the homemade dough.

Just mix up the pizza dough.

Divide the pizza dough into 12 balls of dough.

Flatten the dough and load up with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and pepperoni or any other favorite pizza topping.

Slather on some garlic butter and bake to a golden brown.

How to make Pepperoni Pizza Bombs

Pizza Bomb Ingredients

• 2 envelopes pizza dough mix or a double batch of my personal pizza dough recipe

• mini pepperoni
• ¾ pound whole milk mozzarella cheese
• 2 teaspoons minced garlic
• 4 tablespoons melted butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 F. degrees.

Prep the baking pan: Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper and brushing the parchment paper it with olive oil.

Pizza bomb dough: Make the pizza dough following the instructions on the package if you are buying a dough mix. Or follow the directions for making my perisomal pan pizza dough recipe.

Rising the dough: Place dough in a warm spot like the microwave for 10 minutes to rise.

Mix the minced garlic with the melted butter and set aside.

Divide the dough: For each pizza bomb pinch off a golf ball size of dough, roll into a ball then flatten into a circle.

Repeat with remaining dough and ingredients, making 12 Pizza Bombs.
