Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can 16.3 oz refrigerated buttermilk biscuits (8 count)
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 24 slices mini pepperoni or 16 regular slices, quartered
  • 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese optional, for topping

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • small bowl
  • pastry brush
  • knife or pizza cutter

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Separate the 8 biscuits. Use your fingers to flatten each into a 4-inch round. Work gently—if the dough tears, press it back together.
  3. Place 1 tablespoon pizza sauce in the center of each round, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  4. Top sauce with 2 tablespoons shredded mozzarella and 3 mini pepperoni slices (or 2 quartered regular slices). Don't overfill—excess filling will leak.
  5. Gather the edges of the dough up and over the filling. Pinch firmly to seal. Place seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart.
  6. In a small bowl, mix melted butter, garlic powder, and oregano. Brush the tops of each bomb with the butter mixture. Sprinkle with Parmesan if using.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the tops are deep golden brown and the filling is bubbling through any tiny cracks. Let cool on the sheet for 3 minutes before serving. The cheese inside will be molten hot.

Notes

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes to restore crispness (microwaving will soften the biscuit). For a vegetarian version, omit pepperoni and add chopped bell peppers or black olives. Allergy note: contains dairy, gluten, and eggs (in biscuit dough). For dietary concerns, consult a qualified professional.
