Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Pro Tip: Want extra crispy cheese bombs? Bake them on a preheated pizza stone for the best results!

Step 2: Prepare the Biscuit Dough

1. Separate the refrigerated biscuit dough into individual pieces.
2. Flatten each biscuit slightly with your fingers or a rolling pin to create a disc.

Using homemade dough? Just roll it out into small circles before stuffing with cheese!

3 Step: Stuff the Dough with Cheese

1. Place a cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each flattened biscuit.
2. Fold the edges over the cheese and pinch to seal completely.
3. Roll the stuffed dough into a ball, ensuring no cheese is exposed.

Sealing Tip: Make sure the dough is tightly pinched around the cheese to prevent leaks while baking!

Now that our cheese-stuffed dough balls are ready, it’s time to brush them with buttery garlic goodness, bake them to golden perfection, and enjoy every cheesy bite!

Step 4: Arrange in the Baking Dish

1. Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down in the prepared baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
2. Ensure they are not touching too closely to allow them to expand while baking.

Want a pull-apart effect? Arrange the dough balls closer together so they bake into each other!

Step 5: Make the Garlic Butter

1. In a small bowl, mix together:
   • Melted butter
   • Minced garlic
   • Chopped parsley
2. Stir well to combine.

Pro Tip: Let the garlic butter sit for a few minutes to deepen the flavor before brushing it on!

6 Step: Brush & Bake

1. Generously brush the tops of the dough balls with the garlic butter mixture.
2. If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top for an extra cheesy crust.
3. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and fluffy.

Want extra crispy tops? Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for a beautifully golden finish!

Step 7: Serve & Enjoy!

1. Remove from the oven and brush with any remaining garlic butter.
2. Let them cool slightly before serving (because molten cheese is HOT!).
3. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce:
   • 🍅 Marinara sauce (for classic pizza flavors!)
   • 🥣 Ranch dressing (for a creamy, tangy kick!)
   • 🔥 Spicy sriracha mayo (for heat lovers!)
