Calling all little pizza monsters. These super cute pumpkin pizza bombs are the perfect snacktivity for Halloween movie night.

Servings: 6

Time: 1 hour


Ingredients

Pizza Bomb Ingredients

  • 1 tube refrigerated pizza crust 
  • shredded mozzarella cheese (or 6 mini mozzarella balls)
  • 2 tbsp pizza sauce (we used Rao's)
  • 1 egg
  • pretzel sticks
  • fresh basil leaves (optional)

Customizing Ideas

  • pepperoni
  • italian sausage
  • sliced black olives
  • canadian bacon

Process

  1. Preheat oven to 375.

  2. Prep the dough: Unroll the pizza crust and cut into 6 equal rectangles.

  3. Fill the pizza bombs: Add pizza sauce, mozzarella, and toppings of your choice to the center of each rectangle. Be careful not to overfill. Aim for 1-1 1/2 tablespoons of filling per pizza bomb.

  4. Seal the dough: Gather the edges of the dough around the filling and pinch firmly to seal. Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough. 

  5. Shape the pumpkins: Cut 4 pieces of baker’s twine, about 8 inches long each. Arrange the strands in an asterisk shape. Place a sealed pizza bomb in the center, then tie the strands around the dough to create sections that resemble a pumpkin. Tie each strand securely, then trim any excess twine.

  6. Add the egg wash: Beat the egg and lightly brush it over the tops of the pizza bombs.

  7. Bake: Place the pizza bombs on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the dough is cooked through.

  8. Finish the pumpkins: Carefully cut and remove the twine. Add a small piece of pretzel stick to the top of each pizza bomb for the stem. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
