How to Make Christmas Tree Pizza

Ingredients:

1 large pizza dough
1 cup pizza sauce
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup assorted vegetables (like bell peppers, olives, and mushrooms)
1 cup pepperoni or other favorite toppings
1 egg (for egg wash)
1 small star cookie cutter (for the pizza star topper)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a triangle shape, resembling a Christmas tree.
Transfer the shaped dough to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving some space at the edges.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Use assorted vegetables and pepperoni to decorate the pizza, arranging them like ornaments on a tree.
Cut out a small star shape from leftover dough or use the star cookie cutter to make a star for the top of the tree. Place it on the peak.
Beat the egg and brush it over the crust to give it a golden color.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

How to Serve Christmas Tree Pizza

Slice the pizza into triangle pieces to serve. You can also add some extra toppings on the side, like ranch dressing or marinara sauce for dipping. Encourage kids to make their own “ornaments” with toppings!

How to Store Christmas Tree Pizza

If you have leftovers, store the pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for about 2-3 days. To reheat, place slices in the microwave for a quick warm-up or in the oven to regain its crispiness.

Tips to Make Christmas Tree Pizza

Use pre-made pizza dough for a quicker preparation time.
Feel free to personalize the toppings according to what your kids like.
For added fun, let children create their own designs on small individual pizzas.

Variation

You can try making the pizza with a different cheese, like cheddar or pepper jack, for a twist on flavor. Another variation is to make a sweet dessert pizza using Nutella and fruit arranged as decorations.

FAQs

1. Can I use store-bought pizza dough?
Yes, using store-bought pizza dough is a great time-saver.

2. What toppings can I use?
You can use any toppings that your family enjoys. Common options are ham, sausage, and various vegetables.

3. Can I freeze the Christmas Tree Pizza?
Yes, you can freeze the pizza before baking. Just wrap it well in plastic wrap and keep it in the freezer for up to a month. When you’re ready, bake it straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
