Ingredients:

  • 1 tube (16 oz / 450g) refrigerated pizza dough
  • 1 cup (115g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 oz (56g) cream cheese, chilled and cubed
  • 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves (15g) garlic, finely minced
  • 1 tsp (2g) Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp (1g) salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a small bowl, toss the shredded mozzarella and cubed cream cheese together until evenly distributed.
  2. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and flatten each piece into a circle. Place a generous pinch of the cheese mixture in the center of each circle.
  3. Pull the edges of the dough upward and pinch them tightly to seal the cheese inside, forming a ball. Place each bomb seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crusts are a deep golden brown.
  5. While the bombs are baking, whisk together the melted butter, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and parsley. Immediately upon removing the bombs from the oven, brush the garlic butter generously over the top of each hot bomb.
