Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly flour a work surface and roll the pizza dough in an 8"x9"x1" rectangle. Cut the dough into 30 squares (6x5).
- Take each square of dough and wrap a piece of mozzarella inside, pinching to seal into a ball.
- Arrange the balls, seam side down, on the baking sheet, in a Christmas tree shape working upwards, with 2 balls for the trunk, then 7 balls, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 for the top of the tree.
- Whisk the egg with 1 tbsp water. Brush the tops of the balls with egg was and bake the tree until golden and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
- While the tree is baking, make the garlicky butter. Melt the butter over low heat and stir in the garlic, Parmesan, and basil.
- When the tree is ready, remove from the oven and brush generously with the garlic butter. If desired, finish with more Parmesan, basil, and red pepper flakes, if desired.
- Enjoy warm!
