To make pizza bombs, first make the dough. Combine the sugar and 2 tbsp of warm water in a small bowl and mix well. Add the dry yeast and stir gently. Cover it with a lid and keep aside for 10 minutes. Combine the plain flour, butter, salt and yeast-sugar mixture in a deep bowl, mix well and knead it into a soft dough using approx. ½ cup of warm water. Cover the dough with a lid or a damp muslin cloth and keep aside for 20 minutes.
Then make the pizza bombs stuffing. Combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and mix well. Divide the stuffing into 8 equal portions and keep aside.
Finally roll and bake pizza bombs. Knead the dough again to deflate it and remove the excess air. Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape a portion of the dough into a ball and roll it into a 100 mm. (4”) diameter circle using little plain flour for rolling. Place a portion of the stuffing in the center. Bring all the sides together and seal it tightly. Remove the extra dough and roll it in between your palms into a ball. Repeat steps 3 to 5 to shape 7 more pizza bombs. Arrange them in a greased baking tray, cover with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside in a warm place for 20 minutes. Remove the muslin cloth and bake them in a pre-heated oven at 200°c (400°f) for 18 to 20 minutes. Serve hot brushed with melted butter.

Perfectly golden brown, crisp outside and gooey inside, the pizza bombs are a class apart.
Cheesy pizza bombs look and smell irresistible. If you love cheese, feel free to sprinkle some on top to enhance the appeal of this irresistible snack.
Tips for pizza bombs. 1. Proofing the dough of the bread is very important and so is the second proofing before baking. 2. Ensure the dough portion rolled before putting the stuffing is thick and not thin.
