Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup mini pepperoni slices
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasoning:
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Finishing Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Unroll refrigerated biscuit dough and gently stretch each piece into a thin circular shape.
- Spread a layer of pizza sauce at the center of each dough circle, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Place a generous chunk of mozzarella cheese in the middle of the sauce, then carefully arrange pepperoni slices on top.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough upward, creating a sealed pouch by pinching and twisting the dough closed.
- Transform the filled dough into a compact, round ball, ensuring no filling escapes.
- Melt butter and mix with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan cheese.
- Delicately brush each pizza bomb with the herbed butter mixture, coating the entire surface.
- Arrange the prepared bombs in the air fryer basket, maintaining space between each piece to allow proper circulation.
- Program the air fryer to 350°F and cook for approximately 9 minutes, rotating halfway through for even browning.
- Remove when the bombs turn a beautiful golden-brown color with a crispy exterior.
- Let cool for a minute, then serve immediately alongside a warm dish of extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Choose refrigerated biscuits at room temperature for easier stretching and better sealing without tearing.
- Avoid overfilling the bombs to prevent leaking and ensure a clean seal during cooking.
- Experiment with alternative fillings like BBQ chicken, vegetarian options, or different cheese varieties to suit dietary preferences.
- Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
