Garlic Cheese Bombs

I’ve seen this kind of cheese bombs on Pinterest few time ago and searched for a recipe. All the recipes I have seen were using premade biscuit dough. Where I live I can’t find this dough in grocery stores so I decided to try making them from scratch. I already had a delicious recipe for cheddar biscuits so I’ve used it to create these amazing Garlic Cheese Bombs and really worked great. This time I’ve used Mozzarella but cheddar cheese should work as well.

These garlic cheese bombs are easy to prepare even if you make everything from scratch.. should not take you more than 20 minutes to have this prepared and placed in the oven. They are soft and flaky.. and that gooey cheese inside worth all the effort. As holidays are knocking to our doors this recipe might be a great appetizer for this special time of the year.

    Hi. I don’t have an oven. Can I use a microwave it and still get something like this?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      I must say that I don't know .. I am not using microwave so I can not give you an answer on this

  5. Sindhiya Author says:

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      I am so glad you like these:) they truly are delicious

  6. Can this be made ahead of time and reheated in the microwave the next day, does it retain the crunchiness?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      Yes you can do that.. they might retain their crunchiness a bit bot not as much as when you take them right out of the oven. Will still be good though.

  7. Mital Author says:

    Hi,

    Is there a substitute for baking powder which I can use ?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      not really… baking powder is the best for this recipe

  8. Shane Author says:

    Do i use all purpose flour? OR bread flour?

  9. Just wondering if I could change the 3/4 of a cup of buttermilk to just regular milk?
    Thanks for the idea I’m definitely going to make some ????

  10. Claud Author says:

    Can these be made ahead of time? Like the day before Thanksgiving? Then bake them off before dinner?

  11. Mohamed Author says:

    Hello,
    I hope you are well,
    many THANKS for your creative recipes,
    I tried this one, but after I added buttermilk and mixed, the dough was sticking to my hands, glass bowl, and working surface 🙂 even after it is refrigerated, I could not be able to roll and form it till I dust my hands, table rolling pin continuously with flour.
    And after baking to be golden lower and upper, when I ate it tastes great but you can see and feel moisture dough,
    What is wrong with my ingredients, could you help please?
    Kind Regards,

  12. Cathy Author says:

    If you were going to freeze them, would you freeze before you bake or after?

  13. Reen Author says:

    I can’t find buttermilk. What would be a good substitute? Thanks. I’ll let you knwo how they turn out 🙂

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      use 150 g of yogurt + 50g of milk. Hope they turned good for you

  14. Zaineb Author says:

    Is it okay to prepare the dough overnight? I have a brunch party tomorrow and would like to bake them.

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      Sorry.. didn;t notice your comment on time.. did you try it after all? Never prepared the dough a day before.. it might work well if refrigerated

  20. faiza Author says:

    Hello. Just wanted to inquire about the oven heat because I have an electric oven. Do you use electric oven. Do you use only the upper heating element or the lower one or both ?.
    Thanks

  21. ellen manalo Author says:
