👩🍳 Instructions
1️⃣ Make the Dough
In a bowl, mix:

Flatten each piece into a small circle.
3️⃣ Fill
In the center of each circle:
- 1 cube mozzarella
- 2–3 slices turkey pepperoni
- 1 tsp pizza sauce
Pull edges up and pinch tightly to seal.
Roll into a smooth ball.
Make sure fully sealed (or cheese leaks).
4️⃣ Air Fry

Spray basket lightly.
Cook 7–9 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
5️⃣ Finish
Brush with garlic butter mixture while hot.

💪 Make Them Higher Protein (18–20g each)
- Add 2 tbsp cottage cheese inside each bomb
- Use fat-free mozzarella
- Increase protein powder slightly (reduce flour slightly to balance)
🔥 Lower-Carb Version
- Replace ½ cup flour with almond flour
- Use low-carb pizza sauce
- Expect slightly denser texture
🧊 Storage
