Scale

Pizza Bombs Ingredients

  • 1 package pizza dough (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 cup marinara sauce, plus extra for dipping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
  2. Add Fillings: Place shredded mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices evenly spaced across the dough, then spoon a small amount of marinara sauce onto each section.
  3. Form Bombs: Carefully fold the dough over each filling section and pinch the edges to seal, forming individual pizza bomb balls.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Air Fry: Arrange the pizza bombs in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, making sure they do not touch. Cook at 375°F for 8-10 minutes until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve warm with extra marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Do not overfill the dough to prevent leaking during cooking.
  • For a crispier crust, brush the dough balls lightly with olive oil before air frying.
  • Check the pizza bombs halfway through cooking and rotate if necessary for even browning.
  • You can customize the fillings with your favorite pizza toppings like mushrooms, olives, or bell peppers.
