Muffin Tin Pizza Bombs
Rabu, 17 Juli 2019
Edit
Pizzas come baked on stones, licked by grill fire, or toasted on thick French bread. This week, change it up by baking bite-sized bundles of pizza in a muffin tin. The metal cups of the tin cradle the dough, holding their shape and crisping the crust to a rich golden-brown hue.
Can anyone say “tasteless blob of dough?” Yes, I confess I am the worst traditional from scratch pizza dough maker ever.
I am lucky if the pizza even lifts of the stone. However, I can make pizza from naan bread, English muffins, or these mega delicious Pepperoni & Cheese Pizza Bombs.
They are totally delicious and encompass the tasty flavors of pizza in one slightly golden, crispy, yet flaky bite. I only recently discovered the beauty and magic of crescent dough so I have basically been wrapped up all sorts of yummy fillings in this easy to work with dough.
Turning that classic pizza pie into these pockets could not be simpler. Divide your pizza dough (store-bought or homemade both work well) into 12 pieces, then roll each piece into a flat, circular disk. Spoon a small amount of sauce into the center, resisting the temptation to add a generous dollop. (The key to keeping the pizza bomb locked and loaded is leaving a clean border of dough around the perimeter; a saucy edge means the dough will not stick together into a closed bundle, whereas a tight seal means the gooey cheese filling stays put during baking.)
Tuck in your toppings — go classic with a pair of pepperoni slices and a cube of mozzarella — before closing the pocket of dough. Set seam-side down into a standard muffin tin and bake until brown.
A healthy teaspoonful in each pizza bomb makes for the perfectly balanced party in your mouth experience.
Plus, you can heat a side bowl of pasta sauce to dip your bombs into for an extra boost of flavor!

Pizza bombs are destined to be a meal plan favorite for pint-sized and full-sized family members alike. Chewy, Parmesan-flecked dough surrounds tangy pizza sauce, spicy pepperoni, and a gooey knob of melted cheese perfect for Pizza Friday, after-school snacks, or absolutely no reason at all.
