Ingredients
  

Dough
  • 1 can 8 count refrigerated biscuits
Filling
  • 32 pieces pepperoni cut into quarters
  • 8 ounces mozzarella cheese room temperature and chopped into cubes
Seasoning
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
Dipping Sauce
  • ½ cup pizza sauce warmed for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit in half to form 16 thin biscuit pieces.
  2. Cut the pepperoni slices into quarters and place 8 bits of pepperoni in the center of each biscuit.
  3. Chop the mozzarella into 16 cubes. Place one cube in the center of each biscuit.
  4. Fold up the edges of the biscuit to fold the pepperoni and cheese into the center. Roll into a ball, sealing the edges so the cheese does not leak out.
  5. Place the biscuits in an air fryer basket in an even layer, leaving space between each for air to flow.
  6. Add the butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning to a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  7. Brush the butter mixture over the dough.
Cooking
  1. Air fry at 350 degrees for 5-6 minutes, or until dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Warm the pizza sauce in the microwave and serve with the pizza bombs for dipping.

Notes

Make sure to seal the edges of the dough tightly to prevent the cheese from leaking out during cooking. Customize the filling with your favorite pizza toppings, and consider adding a spicy twist with jalapenos or red pepper flakes.
