• Total Time: 35 minutes
• Yield: 6-8 servings

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

2 (7.8 oz) cans refrigerated pizza crust

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

20–25 pepperoni slices

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll both pizza crusts and stack them on top of each other. Cut into a large triangle shape to resemble a Christmas tree, then separate the two layers.
3. Place one dough triangle on the prepared baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface, then layer with mozzarella and pepperoni slices.
4. Place the second sheet of pizza dough on top and press lightly to seal.
5. Using a sharp knife, cut horizontal slits about 1 1/2 inches apart along both sides of the triangle, leaving the center intact.
6. Carefully twist each strip a few times to form “branches.”
7. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the garlic powder and Italian seasoning, then brush the mixture generously over the entire tree.
8. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
9. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh basil before serving.

Notes

• Serve warm with extra pizza sauce for dipping.
• For a festive touch, add sliced olives or bell peppers as “ornaments.”
