Step 1: Prepare the Biscuit Dough (Skip if Using Store-Bought)

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
3. Add 6 tablespoons of cold, cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to work the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Slowly pour in ¾ cup of milk, stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula until the dough comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a little more milk, one tablespoon at a time.
5. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and gently knead it for about 1 minute, just until it’s smooth and no longer sticky.

Step 2: Divide and Stuff the Dough

1. Divide the biscuit dough (homemade or store-bought) into 12 equal pieces. If you’re using store-bought dough, simply separate the biscuits.
2. Flatten each piece of dough into a round, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
3. Place a small mozzarella ball or cube of mozzarella cheese in the center of each dough round. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, you can also sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of the mozzarella.
4. Carefully fold the dough around the cheese, pinching the edges together to seal the bomb completely. Roll each stuffed dough piece into a smooth ball.
5. Place the stuffed dough balls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they’re spaced evenly apart.

Step 3: Bake the Biscuit Bombs

1. Once all the biscuit bombs are assembled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
2. Bake the biscuit bombs for 15-18 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up. You may see some cheese starting to ooze out—don’t worry, that’s part of the deliciousness!

Step 4: Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping

While the biscuit bombs are baking, prepare the garlic butter topping.

1. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup of melted butter, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and ½ teaspoon of salt. Stir to mix.
2. Optional: Add a few cracks of freshly ground black pepper for a bit of heat.

Step 5: Brush the Biscuit Bombs with Garlic Butter

1. Once the biscuit bombs are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them generously with the prepared garlic butter.
2. Sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top for extra flavor and a pop of color.
3. Let the biscuit bombs cool for about 5 minutes before serving—if you can resist that long!

Step 6: Serve and Enjoy

Serve the biscuit bombs warm, allowing the gooey mozzarella to be the star of the show. They pair perfectly with a marinara dipping sauce, ranch, or even a side of pesto for an Italian-inspired twist. But honestly, these are so good on their own that you might not even need a dip!
