Ingredients:

- 20–25 pepperoni slices (plus more for topping)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Optional: Chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Dough:
- Separate the biscuit dough into individual portions. Flatten each piece into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin.
- Assemble the Pizza Bombs:
- Place a teaspoon of pizza sauce in the center of each dough circle. Add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella cheese and a slice or two of pepperoni.
- Carefully fold the edges of the dough up and over the filling, pinching it together to seal. Roll the dough into a smooth ball and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet.
- Season and Add Toppings:
- Brush the tops of the pizza bombs with melted butter. Sprinkle garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese on top. Add an additional slice of pepperoni on each pizza bomb for a decorative touch.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve:
