Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) refrigerated pizza dough

1 cup (100g) shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup (100g) sliced pepperoni

1/2 cup (120g) marinara sauce (for dipping)

1/4 cup (60ml) olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares.

      Fill the Dough: Place a slice of pepperoni on each square, followed by a tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese. If desired, add a dash of crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.

        Form the Bombs: Carefully fold each corner of the dough square towards the center, pinching to seal tightly. Ensure there are no gaps to prevent the cheese from leaking out during baking.

          Coat with Oil: In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush this mixture over each pizza bomb for flavor and a golden finish.

            Bake: Place the pizza bombs on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out, and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

              Prepare the Sauce: While the pizza bombs are baking, heat the marinara sauce in a small saucepan over low heat until warm.

                Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza bombs from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve warm with the marinara sauce for dipping and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
