Categories     appetizer

Time 1h30m

Yield 16 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, plus additional for seasoning
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
Kosher salt
4 slices thick-cut bacon
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 pounds pizza dough, divided into sixteen 2-inch balls weighing 2 ounces each
4 teaspoons tomato paste
16 basil leaves
12 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
Marinara sauce, warmed, for serving

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone on the center rack of the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it on top of the pizza stone.
  • In a small skillet or pot, warm the olive oil over medium heat until very warm to the touch. Add the rosemary, thyme, red pepper flakes and garlic. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly. Stir in the parsley and season to taste with salt.
  • In a medium skillet over medium-low heat, cook the bacon until crispy, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble.
  • Lightly dust a work surface with flour. Flatten and shape each piece of dough into a 3 1/2-inch round.
  • Spread 1/4 teaspoon tomato paste in the center of a round, leaving a small border around the edge. Tear a basil leaf into pieces and add to the center, along with about 1 teaspoon of bacon. Top with 3/4-ounce (about 1 heaping tablespoon) mozzarella. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and some red pepper flakes. Very lightly brush the circumference of the dough with water. Bring the edges of the round towards the center, lightly pleating to form a tight enclosure, and pinch to seal. Using a metal skewer dipped in flour, make a hole in the center of the dough to create a steam vent. Place on a sheet of parchment and repeat with the remaining dough and fillings. Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven, then transfer all the dough balls to the hot baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Brush them liberally with the herb oil.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to the pizza stone and bake, 5 minutes. Rotate the pan and bake until golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Brush with herb oil and serve immediately with marina sauce and the remaining herb oil for dipping.

1 can (8ct.) Pillsbury Grands Flaky Layers Biscuits(Make sure it's flaky NOT buttermilk or it will not turn out good)

Wrap each rolled Bomb in a slice of Bacon, and secure it with a skewer or toothpick... In a med/large pot, heat up approx. 2″ of Oil (to 350 degrees) and fry them up in small batches.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: Thick-cut bacon is best for bacon bombs, as it will hold together better and provide more flavor.

  • Use a variety of fillings: Bacon bombs can be filled with a wide variety of ingredients, such as cheese, jalapeños, sausage, and vegetables.
  • Make sure the filling is evenly distributed: When filling the bacon bombs, make sure to distribute the filling evenly so that each bite is flavorful.
  • Seal the bacon bombs properly: To prevent the filling from leaking out, make sure to seal the bacon bombs properly before cooking.
  • Cook the bacon bombs at the right temperature: Bacon bombs should be cooked at a high temperature so that the bacon cooks quickly and evenly.
  • Serve the bacon bombs with your favorite dipping sauce: Bacon bombs can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, or honey mustard.
