Christmas Tree Garlic Bread

recipe

• Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 400°F. Cut the mozzarella into 23 chunks.
• Step 2
  Cut the pizza dough sheet into 23 squares.
• Step 3
  Place a piece of mozzarella inside each piece of dough. Seal the edges & delicately roll in your hands to form a ball. Repeat for all 23 pieces.
• Step 4
  On a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, snugly place 6 balls next to each other to form the bottom bough of the tree. Continue the same pattern up the triangular tree. Then place the last 2 balls at the base of the tree for the trunk.
• Step 5
  Separate the egg white from the yolk, keeping only the yolk. Combine the yolk with a small splash of water. Stir to combine.
• Step 6
  Using the brush, generously coat the tree with the egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F.
• Step 7
  Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add the crushed or grated garlic & chopped parsley. Season with salt & pepper. Stir to combine. Remove from the heat.
• Step 8
  Remove the tree from the oven. Use the brush again to coat the tree with the garlic-parsley butter. Serve hot. Merry Christmas!
