- Cooking spray
- 1 pound pizza dough at room temperature for 1 hour
- 6 teaspoons marinara sauce divided, plus more for serving
- 24 slices pepperoni
- 6 ounces low-moisture mozzarella cheese cut into 12 pieces
- 4 tablespoons 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Divide the pizza dough into 12 equal portions, about 1 1/4 ounces each. Roll each piece into a ball, then flatten and stretch into a 3- to 4-inch round.

- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, garlic powder, and salt. Dip each pizza bomb into the butter mixture, coating it thoroughly.
- Sprinkle each pizza bomb with 1/4 teaspoon Parmesan cheese and a pinch of Italian seasoning.
- Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until golden-brown. Remove from the pan and cool for 5 minutes before serving.
