Recipe

Christmas Tree

by Ainsleigh Huls

Ingredients

7 mozzarella sticks

All-purpose flour, for dusting

1 lb. store-bought or homemade pizza dough, room temperature

1 large egg

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter, melted

1 oz. Parmesan, finely grated (about 1/2 cup), plus more for serving

1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley, plus more for serving

1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh chopped rosemary

1 Tbsp. thinly sliced fresh basil

Crushed red pepper flakes and warmed marinara, for serving

Directions

1. Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 450°. Cut each cheese stick into 5 pieces.

2. On a lightly floured surface, divide dough in half. Roll each piece to an 18″ x 4″ rectangle. Cut into 2″ squares (you’ll need 33). Wrap each square around a piece of mozzarella and form a tightly sealed ball.

3. Arrange balls, seam side down and touching, on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a Christmas-tree pattern.

4. In a small bowl, beat egg with 1 Tbsp. water.
Brush egg wash on dough balls.

5. Bake tree until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.

6. In a small bowl, whisk butter, Parmesan, parsley, rosemary, and basil; brush on tree.

Sprinkle with Parmesan, parsley, and red pepper flakes. Serve with marinara alongside.
