How to Make Easy Mini Pizza Bites with Biscuit Dough

Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated biscuit dough
• 8 oz mozzarella pearls
• 6 oz pepperoni slices
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
• 1 cup pizza sauce

Instructions

1. Make Biscuit Balls: Cut the biscuits into two pieces. Roll each piece into a ball using your hands.
2. Flatten the Biscuit Balls: Press each ball of biscuit dough into a thin disc about 1/4 inch thick.
3. Add the Pepperoni and Cheese: Place a few slices of pepperoni and a few mozzarella pearls in the center of each disc.
4. Close Up the Pizza Bombs: Gather the edges of the dough and pinch them together to seal the filling inside. Make sure there are no gaps, or the cheese might ooze out while baking.
5. Prepare for Baking: Place the pizza bombs in a baking dish coated with nonstick spray.
6. Coat with Butter and Herbs: Melt the butter in the microwave and mix in the Italian seasoning. Brush the mixture over the top of the biscuit dough with a silicone brush.
7. Bake the Pizza Bombs: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.

Tips to Make Easy Mini Pizza Bites

• Seal the Dough Well: Make sure the dough is tightly sealed around the filling to prevent cheese from escaping.
• Use a Silicone Brush: This helps coat the dough evenly with the butter and seasoning.
• Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other pizza toppings like mushrooms, bell peppers, or olives.

Variation

• Different Cheese: Swap out mozzarella for cheddar, provolone, or your favorite cheese.
• Spicy Option: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the butter mixture for a spicy kick.
