Garlic Powder: This adds the essential garlic flavor; fresh minced garlic works too if you have it on hand. For more inspiration, check out this Creamy Garlic Sauce Ramen recipe.

Prepare the Dough Balls: Roll out small portions of pizza dough into circles about 4 inches wide. Ensure they’re thick enough to hold all that delicious filling while remaining tender when baked. For more inspiration, check out this Stuffed Baked Potatoes recipe.

Bake Them Up!: Arrange your stuffed dough balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush melted butter over each bomb for that gorgeous golden color and sprinkle with salt and Parmesan.

Bake Until Golden Brown: Bake in your preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until they’re puffed up and golden brown. The aroma will fill your kitchen as they bake—don’t forget to sneak a peek!
