Pizza Bomb

  
I don’t know about you guys, but i sure do love appetizers….and if it is this bite sized bombs, ill throw myself right into them. These pizza bombs are just the perfect size for dipping in whatever sauce you like and popping in the mouth. 

  

  
The filling i used for this is quite simple…just some chopped cajun grilled chicken,  pizza sauce, pickles and the main star of this recipe-lots of mozzarella cheese. But seriously, you can customize the filling in whatever way you like. Cheese alone would be amazing, ground chicken or beef, or any sort of chicken filling, sausage, veggies like fried brinjal/eggplant or zucchini etc etc. but make sure you dont skip the mozzarella. 
   
 I made my own pizza dough, but you can use store bought ones. You can also make these with the readymade cresent roll dough, or flaky biscuits dough or even puff pastry would work well, i guess. 

   
 
I love making these when we have any get togethers, because it is very easy to make a large batch and you dont have to fuss with extra plates or anything. Not only do these fluffy, tender cheese filled rolls jazz up any meal…they can actually be the meal. 
   
 
In just a few minutes of prep time you will have hot cheesy pizza rolls that are so comforting. I hope you try out this recipe and do come back and to lemme know what you think.

Get recipe here.

Other ingredients:

Butter

Pickled green chillies

White sesame seeds

FOR FILLING:

  1. Cut the chicken breast in cubes and marinate with the ingredients listed above.  Keep for 2-3 hours. Grill it and then chop into smaller pieces. 

  
 

   
   ASSEMBLY:

  1. Roll out the dough and cut into 3 by 3 inch squares. Gently move each square into greased muffin or tart tin. 
  2. Fill each with a small piece of butter, pizza sauce, chopped chicken, chopped pickled green chillies and finally mozzarella cheese.
  3. Gently fold the tops to close.
  4. Place the rolls folded side facing down. 
  5. Brush with butter and sprinkle white sesame seeds on top. 
  6. Bake at 375 degrees for 12-14 minutes until the top gets the golden brown color. 

   

 

Notes:

✔️ I used the same pizza dough recipe which i used for chicken tikka pizza. But for this i didn’t keep it in the fridge, instead i kept it in a warm place for 3 hours, let it rise and used. 

✔️ I had left over tikka pizza sauce from chicken tikka pizza, so i used that only for this recipe too. You can make your own pizza sauce or use store bought ones. Or else you can just use sweet chilli sauce, sriracha sauce or any sauce you like. 

✔️ Other chicken filling recipes are here and here

✔️ You have to serve this warm, so that cheese oozes out when you take a bite. 

✔️ My oven doesn’t do the baking and broiling together, so i first baked the lower part. It took about 10 minutes. And then i turned the rolls and baked the other side for another 5 minutes. Just keep checking if it is done.
