These Air Fryer Pizza Bombs are a fun and easy appetizer or snack featuring gooey mozzarella and savory pepperoni wrapped in pizza dough and cooked to golden perfection in the air fryer. Served with marinara sauce for dipping, they’re perfect for pizza lovers craving a handheld treat without heating up the oven.

Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Bombs

  • 1 package pizza dough (about 1 lb)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 20 slices pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup marinara sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut the dough into squares approximately 3×3 inches in size.
  2. Fill the dough: Place a few slices of pepperoni and a generous spoonful of shredded mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough square. Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over the filling.
  3. Seal the bombs: Fold the dough over the filling to form a ball or pocket. Pinch the edges tightly to seal completely, preventing cheese from leaking out during cooking.
  4. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 370°F (188°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
  5. Air fry the pizza bombs: Place the sealed dough balls in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each to allow air circulation. Cook at 370°F (188°C) for 8-10 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Serve with marinara: Remove the pizza bombs from the air fryer and let cool slightly. Serve warm with marinara sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • Make sure to seal the dough balls very tightly to avoid cheese leakage during cooking.
  • You can customize fillings with other toppings like cooked sausage, mushrooms, or vegetables.
  • Check the bombs halfway through cooking and rotate if necessary for even browning.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
