Ingredients
- 1 can of refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices, chopped
- 1/4 cup bell peppers, diced (optional)
- 1/4 cup mushrooms, diced (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce for dipping
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough and cut it into small squares, about 3×3 inches.
- Stuff the Dough: In a bowl, mix the mozzarella cheese, chopped pepperoni, and diced vegetables. Place a generous spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough square.
- Seal the Bombs: Fold the corners of the dough over the filling to create a ball, pinching the seams to seal tightly.
- Brush with Olive Oil: Place the pizza bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
