Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
Sauce and Toppings:
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the air fryer by heating it to 350F (175C), ensuring it’s ready for cooking.
- Gently transform each biscuit dough into a thin, uniform circular shape using your fingertips.
- Strategically place a dollop of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle, followed by a sprinkle of cheese and a few pepperoni slices.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough inward, meticulously pinching and sealing to create a compact, secure ball.
- Apply a generous brush of melted butter across the surface, then generously dust with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and grated Parmesan.
- Arrange the prepared bombs in the air fryer basket, positioning them seam-side down with ample space between each piece to ensure even cooking.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, monitoring until the exterior turns a rich golden brown and develops a crispy, enticing texture.
- Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately, accompanied by a side of warm pizza sauce for dipping and enhanced flavor.
Notes
- Customize fillings by swapping pepperoni with ham, bacon, or vegetarian alternatives like mushrooms and bell peppers.
- Experiment with different cheese types such as mozzarella, cheddar, or a blend for varied flavor profiles.
- Prevent leakage by ensuring edges are tightly sealed and avoiding overfilling the dough pockets.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free biscuit dough and check all ingredient labels carefully.
