Ingredients
  

1 package (16 oz) refrigerated pizza dough

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup pepperoni slices (about 4 oz)

1/4 cup marinara sauce (for dipping)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Fresh basil leaves (for garnish, optional)

Cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.

    On a lightly floured surface, roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick.

      Cut the dough into 2-inch squares using a pizza cutter or knife.

        In the center of each square, place about 1 tablespoon of shredded mozzarella cheese and 1-2 slices of pepperoni.

          Fold the corners of the dough square over the filling to create a pouch, sealing all edges tightly.

            Place the pizza bombs seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

              In a small bowl, mix olive oil, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Brush this mixture over the tops of each pizza bomb.

                Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the top of each bomb for extra flavor.

                  Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.

                    Serve hot with marinara sauce for dipping, and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
