Ingredients

  • 1 cup water, for steaming
  • 1 can (8 count) refrigerated biscuits
  • 1 (6-ounce) package pepperoni 
  • 1 pound log mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 1 (12.3 ounce) jar Rao’s Homemade Pizza Arrabbiata Sauce
  • ¼ cup butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Step 1
Open the can of biscuits and separate each biscuit in half to form 16 thin pieces.

Step 2
Cut the pepperoni slices into quarters and place a few bits of pepperoni in the center of each biscuit.

Step 3
Place one cube of mozzarella in the center of each biscuit on top of the pepperoni.

Step 4
Top cheese and pepperoni with a spoonful of Rao’s Homemade Pizza Arrabbiata Sauce.

Step 5
Fold up the edges of the biscuit so the pepperoni and cheese in the center is completely covered. Roll into a ball, sealing the edges so the cheese and sauce do not leak out.

Step 6
Pour 1 cup water into the pot. Pull out the legs on the Crisper Tray, then place the tray in the elevated position in the pot.

Step 7
Place the biscuits in an even layer on the Crisper Tray, leaving space between each for air to flow.

Step 8
In a small bowl, whisk together the butter, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Brush the butter mixture over the dough balls.

Step 9
Close the lid and flip the SmartSwitch to RAPID COOKER.  Select STEAM & CRISP, set temperature to 350°F, and set time to 5 minutes. Select START/STOP to begin cooking (the unit will steam for approx. 10 minutes before cooking).

Step 10
When cooking is complete, the pizza bombs will be golden brown and cooked through. Carefully remove the pizza bombs and transfer to a plate. Remove the Crisper Tray from the pot.

Step 11
Flip the SmartSwitch™ to AIR FRY. Select SEAR/SAUTE, set the temperature to HI, and press START/STOP to start warming, add the remaining sauce to the pot. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.

Step 12
Serve the pizza bombs with the heated pizza sauce for dipping.
