Categories: Pizza/flatbread
Ingredients
- 24 frozen white dinner rolls (I used Rhodes in the freezer section)
- 3/4 cup (1- 1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cup fresh shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 24 ounces mozzarella cheese, cut into 48 bite size pieces
- 1 (5 ounce) package mini pepperoni
- Marinara for serving
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F.
-
Lightly flour counter top.
-
ace 12 dinner rolls on a microwave safe plate and microwave on defrost for about 2 minutes (or until dough is no longer frozen, but not cooked). Cut dinner rolls in half with kitchen shears. Repeat with the remaining 12.
-
Meanwhile cut cheese into 48 even pieces, about ½ ounce each. Prepare a casserole dish by spraying with non stick cooking spray (approximately 9”x13”). Set aside.
-
In a large bowl melt butter. Add Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Stir to combine. Set aside.
-
Toss 1 piece of dough in flour and flatten and stretch like you are making a mini pizza. Stretch dough to about 3” across.
-
Add a pinch of mini pepperoni (about 6 pieces) and a piece of cheese. Pull the edges of the dough together to create a ball. If they ball won’t seal, tap your finger tips into the flour and crimp the seal together.
-
Place pizza bombs in the bowl with the butter mixture. Lightly toss to coat. Repeat until all are in bowl. Add 3/4 of Parmesan cheese (reserving a little for the last few minutes in the oven) to bowl. Toss to combine. If any pizza bombs open, lightly tap fingers in flour and recrimp edges.
-
Place pizza bombs in prepared dish. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the pizza bombs are no longer doughy. Sprinkle with cheese the last 5 minutes of bake time.
-
Remove from oven. Place on a serving tray. Serve with marinara or alone. Enjoy!
-
COOK’S NOTE: The ooey gooey cheese may escape some of your pizza bombs. That is a beautiful thing! Scoop all that cheesy goodness up onto the plate and serve. Your guests will go crazy over them.
