Air Fryer Pizza Bomb Ingredients:

I use a Cosori 5.8 quart air fryer. Because air fryers vary, cooking times may need to be adjusted by 1-2 minutes.
How to make Pizza Bombs in Air Fryer
-
Open can of biscuit dough and split each biscuit in half.
-
To prepare the basket, lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray, or line with air fryer parchment paper.
-
On a cutting board roll out dough with a rolling pin or flatten each biscuit by hand on your kitchen counter or cutting board, until they are a ¼ inch in thickness.
-
Spoon 1-2 teaspoons of pizza sauce into the center of each biscuit. Then, add a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella, plus any additional toppings, keeping them all in the center of biscuit.
-
Lift opposite sides of biscuit and pinch together. Then follow the same process with the other two sides around the filling. Pull all pieces together making a small round pillow. Pinch and twist, closing each dough filled ball tight so ingredients don't leak out.
-
Place them on the baking sheet until you are finished shaping all the dough balls. Air fry at 350 degrees for 6-8 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from air fryer basket and serve warm.
FAQ's
Yes! If you're refrigerating leftover pizza bombs, fully cool them and place in an airtight container or storage bag for 3-5 days. They can be stored in an airtight container or freezer storage bag for 1-2 months in your freezer.
There are several meats that can be added to this dish. For example, salami, mortadella, pepperoni, prosciutto, sausage and bacon will give these bites a salty flavor, with hints of pepper, smokiness or spiciness depending on the type of meat. Dice meat and in small pieces so they fit well into center of dough.
Fresh or dry herbs like thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano, or basil with parmesan cheese shreds will have a burst of flavor. Spicy flavors can come from black pepper, ancho Chile powder, red pepper flakes, chipotle powder and cayenne pepper.
