Pizza Bombs
These Pizza Bombs are so easy to make and perfect as an appetizer or even a full meal!
Servings: 8 pizza bombs
Ingredients
For the bombs:
- 8 frozen raw dinner rolls I use Rhodes
- 1 8 oz container of mozzarella balls
- 1 jar pizza sauce
- 1 package pepperoni
For the garlic butter:
- ½ cup salted butter melted
- 2 tbsp minced garlic
- 1 tsp oregano or Italian seasoning
Additional ingredients:
- fresh herbs for garnish I use basil and parsley
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
For the bombs:
- Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray and evenly space out 12 frozen raw dinner rolls (I use Rhodes). Cover with saran wrap sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and allow to thaw for 30-45 minutes.
For the garlic butter:
- Melt the butter and add in the garlic and Italian seasoning. Set aside until needed.
For assembly:
- Once the dough is soft you will fill them! Line a cast iron skillet with parchment paper and set aside. Spray hands lightly with nonstick spray and press the dough into about 3 -inch circles. Spread about 1 teaspoon of garlic butter and 2 teaspoons of pizza sauce on the dough, leaving about ¼ of dough around the edges so it does not leak out. Place three slices of pepperoni and 3 mozzarella balls on top and pinch the dough to seal. Place the pinched end down in the pan and evenly space. Cover with saran wrap sprayed with nonstick cooking spray and allow to rise for another 30-60 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, preheat the oven to 350. Remove the saran wrap and brush the tops of the buns with the garlic butter mixture. Bake according the the instructions on the dough bag, about 15-18 minutes or until they are baked through and golden on top.
- After the come out of the oven brush with remaining garlic butter and sprinkle with grated parmesan and fresh herbs. Serve with marinara or pesto and enjoy!
