4.5 from 124 reviews

These Air Fryer Pizza Bombs are deliciously cheesy, pepperoni-stuffed dough pockets cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer. Perfect as a quick snack or appetizer, they offer a crispy, golden exterior with a gooey, flavorful filling served alongside savory marinara sauce for dipping.

Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 1 can biscuit dough (16 oz)

Filling

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces and flatten each piece slightly into a round disc suitable for stuffing.
  2. Add Filling: Place a portion of shredded mozzarella cheese and several slices of pepperoni in the center of each dough disc.
  3. Seal the Dough: Fold the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch to seal completely, forming a ball or bomb shape with no filling exposed.
  4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Air Fry the Pizza Bombs: Place the sealed dough balls in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
  6. Serve Warm: Remove pizza bombs carefully from the air fryer and serve immediately with warm marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

  • Ensure the dough is sealed tightly to prevent cheese from leaking during air frying.
  • You can customize the filling by adding vegetables or different meats as desired.
  • Cook in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket for even crispiness.
  • Let the bombs cool slightly before eating to avoid burns from hot cheese inside.
