### What Are Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs?
Cheesy pepperoni pizza bombs are little bundles of pizza goodness.

Perfect for dipping in extra marinara sauce or enjoying on their own, these pizza bombs are an irresistible snack that’s easy to make and even easier to eat.
### Ingredients You’ll Need:
Here’s a simple list of ingredients you’ll need to make these Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs:
– **Pizza dough**: You can use store-bought pizza dough for convenience, or make your own if you prefer. The dough should be soft, stretchy, and easy to roll out.
– **Mozzarella cheese**: Fresh or shredded mozzarella works best. The cheese should melt easily to create that delicious gooey inside.
– **Pepperoni slices**: The star of the show! You can use regular or mini pepperoni, depending on your preference.
– **Pizza sauce**: For dipping or drizzling inside the pizza bombs. You can use store-bought pizza sauce or make your own if you’re feeling extra.
– **Butter**: To brush over the top of the pizza bombs before baking. This adds a rich, golden finish.
– **Garlic powder**: A sprinkle of garlic powder gives the pizza bombs an extra burst of flavor.
– **Italian seasoning**: Optional, but a pinch of Italian seasoning adds a touch of herbaceous goodness that’s perfect for pizza bombs.
– **Parmesan cheese**: For an added cheesy finish on top of the bombs once they’re baked.
### How to Make Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs:
**Step 1: Preheat the Oven**
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the pizza bombs from sticking.
**Step 2: Prepare the Pizza Dough**
If you’re using store-bought dough, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about ¼-inch thickness. If you’re using homemade dough, follow your recipe’s instructions for rolling it out. Once rolled out, cut the dough into small squares (about 2 to 3 inches each).
**Step 3: Add the Filling**
Place a slice of pepperoni in the center of each square of dough. Top the pepperoni with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese. You can also add a small spoonful of pizza sauce inside each square if you like a saucy filling (though be careful not to overfill it, or the sauce might spill out during baking).
**Step 4: Form the Pizza Bombs**
Carefully fold the corners of the dough over the filling, bringing them toward the center. Pinch the edges together to seal the dough, ensuring the filling is fully enclosed. Repeat this process for each pizza bomb.
**Step 5: Brush with Butter and Season**
Place the sealed pizza bombs onto the prepared baking sheet. In a small bowl, melt the butter and add a pinch of garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush the melted butter over the top of each pizza bomb. This will give the bombs a beautiful golden finish as they bake.
**Step 6: Bake**
Place the pizza bombs in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and puffed up. You’ll know they’re ready when the tops are a deep golden color and the cheese inside is melted and bubbly.
**Step 7: Add the Finishing Touches**
Once baked, remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. While they’re still warm, sprinkle them with a little grated Parmesan cheese and extra Italian seasoning if desired. You can also brush on a little more melted butter for extra flavor.
**Step 8: Serve and Enjoy!**
Serve the Cheesy Pepperoni Pizza Bombs with a side of warm pizza sauce for dipping. Enjoy these delightful little bites with family, friends, or just yourself!
