Steps to Make Quick & Easy Mini Christmas Tree Pizzas
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Line two half-sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside. Roll out pizza dough on a pastry mat or lightly greased surface.
- Cut out the dough with a 4-inch Christmas Tree Cookie Cutter. Carefully transfer the cut dough to the prepared baking sheets, taking care to maintain the shape of the trees.
- Brush the tops of the trees with pizza sauce using a silicone basting brush.
- Sprinkle one to two teaspoons of Finely Shredded Italian Five Cheese Blend on top of the sauce.
- Place five mini pepperoni slices on top of the cheese, leaving the top of the tree empty. Bake in a 350°F oven for 12-15 minutes.
- While the pizzas are baking, use a mini-star cookie cutter to cut 12 stars out of cracker-cut cheddar cheese slices. When done, remove the pizzas from the oven and immediately place a cheddar cheese star at the top of the pizza trees. Allow the pizza trees to cool slightly and the cheese to start to melt. Serve warm with a side of extra pizza sauce for dipping.
Quick & Easy Mini Christmas Tree Pizzas are an adorable addition to any holiday gathering. With just a few simple ingredients and minimal effort, you can create a festive feast that everyone will love.
