Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 tube Crescent Roll Dough: This will be the flaky outer layer.
• 2 sticks White String Cheese: Cut into 4 even pieces; this is the gooey cheese center.
• 1 jar Pasta Sauce: For that authentic pizza flavor.
• 32 slices Pepperoni: For that classic pizza taste.
• Italian Herbs: A sprinkle of dried oregano, basil, or a pre-mixed Italian seasoning will elevate the flavor.
• Muffin Tin: This is essential for shaping the pizza bombs.

Directions: How to Make Pepperoni Cheese Pizza Bombs

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures your pizza bombs bake evenly and come out perfectly golden brown.

Step 2: Prepare the Muffin Tin

Generously spray the muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. This will help prevent the pizza bombs from sticking and make clean-up a breeze.

Step 3: Assemble the Pizza Bombs

1. Open the tube of crescent roll dough and carefully lay each triangle over an open space in the muffin tin.
2. Spoon approximately one teaspoon of pasta sauce onto each triangle, spreading it around for even coverage.
3. Next, add two slices of pepperoni on top of the sauce. Then, place one piece of string cheese in the center and cover it with two more slices of pepperoni. This layering creates a delicious, melty center.
4. Once everything is in place, fold the edges of the crescent dough over the filling and pinch to seal, forming a ball. Make sure the filling is completely enclosed.

Step 4: Add the Finishing Touches

Sprinkle your Italian herbs over each pizza bomb for an extra burst of flavor.

Step 5: Bake

Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the pizza bombs are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 6: Serve

Once out of the oven, allow the bombs to cool for a minute or two. Serve them warm with an additional side of warm pasta sauce for dipping. Enjoy these delicious bites while they’re still gooey and hot!
