Description

A festive, pull-apart savory bread shaped like a Christmas tree and loaded with melted mozzarella and garlic butter.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cups low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley in a small bowl until smooth.
  3. Divide the pizza dough into two equal pieces and roll each into a long rope about 1 inch thick.
  4. Twist the two ropes together into a spiral and shape the ends to create a tree silhouette on the pan.
  5. Brush the garlic butter mixture generously over the dough.
  6. Press the shredded mozzarella into the twists and crevices of the dough.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the top of the tree.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  9. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
