Can I make these Pepperoni Cheese Pizza Bombs ahead of time?

Yes! You can prepare the pizza bombs in advance and store them in the refrigerator before baking. Just assemble the pizza bombs, cover them, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to serve, bake them as instructed. This makes them a great option for meal prepping or party planning.

Can I freeze Pepperoni Cheese Pizza Bombs?

Absolutely! These pizza bombs can be frozen before baking. To do so, place the assembled pizza bombs on a baking sheet in the freezer until firm. Then, transfer them to a freezer-safe bag or container. When you're ready to bake, just pop them directly from the freezer into the preheated oven and bake for an extra 2-3 minutes.

Can I use a different type of dough for the pizza bombs?

Yes, you can experiment with different dough types if you prefer. Although crescent dough gives the pizza bombs their flaky and buttery texture, you can substitute with biscuit dough, pizza dough, or even puff pastry for a different twist.

What other fillings can I use in these pizza bombs?

The beauty of these pizza bombs lies in their versatility. You can add a variety of fillings to suit your taste. Consider adding mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, or even sausage for a heartier bite. You can also experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, cheddar, or provolone for a unique flavor combination.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray.
Open the crescent dough tube and separate the dough into individual triangles.
Place each dough triangle over the cups of the muffin tin, ensuring they fit snugly.
Place 1 teaspoon of marinara sauce onto each dough triangle.
Top with 2 slices of pepperoni and a piece of string cheese. Add 2 more slices of pepperoni on top to cover the cheese.
Fold the dough triangle over the fillings and pinch the edges to form a sealed ball.
Sprinkle with Italian herbs on top for extra flavor.
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and crispy.
Serve while still warm with additional marinara sauce for dipping.

Use string cheese for the best melting results, as shredded cheese may not melt evenly.
Serve the pizza bombs hot to enjoy the gooey cheese inside.
Experiment with other fillings like mushrooms or bell peppers for a custom flavor.
