Finally, a holiday tree you can aggressively dismantle.
Holiday stress peaking? Same. That’s why this viral pull-apart Christmas tree bread is the ultimate seasonal coping mechanism. Warm, cheesy, and designed to be ripped apart with zero consequences, it’s the only tree you’re encouraged — no, invited — to dismantle with glee. So, go on. Tear it up. We all deserve a little carb therapy this year.
Cheesy Pull-Apart Bread Shaped Like a Christmas Tree
Ingredients
- 1 loaf pizza dough
- 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough into a large rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
- Cut the dough into 1-inch squares.
- Place a small amount of mozzarella cheese in the center of each square and pinch the edges to seal, forming a ball.
- Arrange the dough balls closely on the baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree.
- In a small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Brush the garlic butter over the dough balls evenly.
- Brush the beaten egg over the entire tree for a golden finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish.
