ngredients:
– 500 g ground beef
– 100 g grated Parmesan cheese
– 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tsp salt
– 1/2 tsp black pepper
– 300 g pre-made pizza dough
– 50 g melted butter
– 2 tsp dried oregano
– 20 g fresh parsley, chopped
Necessary Tools:
– Skillet
– Parchment-lined baking sheet
– Mixing bowl
– Rolling pin
– Spoon for filling the dough
Ingredient Swaps and Additions:
Feel free to customize your bombs! You can swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken if you prefer leaner meat. For a veggie twist, substitute the beef with sautéed mushrooms or lentils. Add a touch of spice by mixing in jalapeños or using pepper jack cheese instead of mozzarella. The possibilities are endless!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). The aroma that fills your kitchen while these bake will have everyone eagerly waiting!
2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, making sure to drain any excess fat for a healthier option.
3. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic to the meat, sautéing until the onion is translucent—about 3 minutes. Your kitchen will smell heavenly at this point!
4. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, salt, and pepper until everything is well combined.
5. Roll out the pizza dough and cut it into 12 equal squares. Each square will hold a burst of flavor!
6. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture into the center of each dough square.
7. Fold over the corners and pinch to seal, ensuring no filling escapes during baking.
8. Place the sealed bombs seam side down on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
9. Brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese and oregano for that extra flavor kick.
10. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and crispy. You won’t believe how tantalizing these look and smell!
11. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Get ready for compliments!
Serving Suggestions:
These bombs are fantastic on their own, but why not serve them with a side of marinara sauce for dipping? You could also pair them with a fresh salad or some crispy veggie sticks for a well-rounded meal.
Pro Tips for Success:
– Make sure to seal your bombs tightly; otherwise, the filling might ooze out during baking.
– Don’t be shy with the cheese! Adding a bit more can create some delicious melty pockets inside.
– Allow them to cool slightly before biting into them; the filling can be quite hot!
Storing and Reheating:
If you have any leftovers (though I doubt you will!), store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. To reheat, pop them in the oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 10 minutes to re-crisp the dough.
FAQ Section:
– Can I freeze these?Yes! Prepare and seal them, then freeze before baking. When you’re ready to enjoy, bake straight from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
– Can I use homemade dough? Absolutely! If you’re feeling adventurous, homemade dough will work just as well.
