# What You'll Need:

→ Dough & Coating

03 - 1 tsp Italian seasoning
04 - 1 can (8 oz) refrigerated biscuit dough

→ Filling & Dipping

# Step-by-Step Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

03 - Place 1 tbsp mozzarella cheese and a few mini pepperoni slices in the center of each dough circle.
04 - Fold the edges of the dough over the filling, pinching them together to form a sealed ball. Place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

# Helpful Notes:

01 - For a crispy finish, sprinkle the tops with Parmesan cheese before baking.
02 - Add red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños for extra heat.
03 - Swap pepperoni for sausage, bacon, or vegetables for different flavor profiles.
04 - Assemble the pizza bombs and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
