Flaky, golden biscuit dough filled with melty mozzarella, zesty pepperoni, and pizza sauce—brushed with garlic butter and baked to perfection.

🧄 Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8-count, like Pillsbury Grands)
- ½ cup pizza sauce (plus more for dipping)

- 24–32 slices pepperoni (3–4 per bomb)

👩🍳 Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Flatten each biscuit into a 4-inch circle.
- Add filling: Place 1 tsp of pizza sauce in the center, add 3–4 pepperoni slices, and top with 1–2 tbsp shredded mozzarella.
- Fold and seal: Gather the edges and pinch tightly to seal, forming a ball. Place seam-side down on baking sheet.
- Make garlic butter: Mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush bombs generously.
- Optional: Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly, garnish with parsley, and serve with warm pizza sauce for dipping.
