How to Prepare
🔥 Preheat the oven to 400°F. 🫒 Apply a small amount of oil to the counter for smooth rolling of the pizza dough. Place the dough on the counter and sprinkle with flour. 🌿 Roll out the dough into a rectangular shape. Cut it into 23 equal pieces. If there are extras, they can be baked separately. 🧀 Take each piece, add a cube of mozzarella or preferred cheese, and shape it into a ball. 🎄Then, on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, assemble the tree by placing six dough balls, then five, four, three, two, one, and two more for the base. 🥚 Once assembled, cover and let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes. After resting, brush it with egg wash, avocado oil, or coconut oil if egg-free. ♨️ Now bake at 400°F for 20 minutes. If not golden, broil for 1-2 minutes while watching closely. 🌿 Mix and brush the garlic-herbed butter over the tree. Enjoy it hot while the cheese is melted, or let it cool, refrigerate, and reheat the next day in the oven.
