Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescent Dough
- 12–16 slices Pepperoni
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
- 1/3 cup Marinara Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil (for brushing)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and help with easy cleanup.
- Roll Out the Dough: Unroll the crescent dough onto a clean, flat surface. Separate it into triangles and gently press the perforations to seal seams, forming a smooth dough sheet without holes.
- Add Toppings: Spread about a small spoonful of marinara sauce onto each dough triangle. Layer on shredded mozzarella cheese and 3-4 pepperoni slices, then sprinkle a pinch of Italian seasoning over the top.
- Form the Bombs: Carefully roll each dough triangle from the widest end toward the point, tucking the edges underneath to seal in the filling and prevent leaks during baking.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Arrange the rolled pizza bombs on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil to help them brown and become crisp. Bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed up and golden brown.
- Serve Warm: Let the pizza bombs cool for a few minutes before serving. Accompany them with extra warm marinara sauce for dipping and enjoy!
Notes
- Don’t overfill the dough to prevent leaking while baking.
- Seal dough edges firmly to keep the filling inside.
- Use freshly shredded mozzarella cheese for the best melt and texture.
- Allow bombs to cool briefly before serving to let the filling set and avoid burns.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and non-stick baking.
