Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the pizza dough into 14 equal pieces and roll each piece into an 8-inch strip.
Place half a slice of American cheese and a thawed mini meatball at one end of each dough strip. Wrap and seal tightly.
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then add ¼ cup of baking soda, stirring until dissolved.
Boil each bomb in batches for 20–30 seconds, turning halfway until slightly puffed.
Remove boiled bombs and place them on the baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sea salt.
