Ingredients

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (450?). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or spray lightly with non-stick spray.
  • Prepare the pizza dough according to package or recipe instructions. Once ready, divide the dough into two equal balls for easier rolling.
  • On a floured surface, roll each pizza dough ball into a long rectangle. Cut the dough into 30 squares, each approximately 2 inches wide.
  • Place a piece of diced mozzarella in the center of each dough square, then gather and pinch the edges together to form a ball. Gently roll the ball between your hands to smooth and seal. Place the seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Arrange the dough balls in the shape of a Christmas tree, starting with 7 balls at the base, then 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and finishing with 1 at the top and 2 to 4 at the bottom for the trunk (trunk is optional)
  • Brush the dough balls with egg wash for a golden finish (optional) then bake in a preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the dough balls are golden brown. Note - Depending on the type of gluten-free pizza dough used, baking times may vary. Check for doneness at 15 minutes, though it may require longer.
  • While baking, whisk together the melted butter, garlic, ⅓ cup of the Parmesan, and herbs to create the topping.
  • Brush the baked tree bread with the prepared topping. Decorate (garnish) the “tree” with dollops of pizza and pesto sauces, chopped fresh parsley, the remaining parmesan, and optional sea salt.
  • Serve right away warm with extra sauce on the side for dipping. Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
