Ingredients

• ½ batch of pizza dough (homemade or store bought)
• 24 slices of pepperoni
• 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• Parsley, minced
• Pizza sauce or ranch dressing, for dipping

Directions

• Divide the pizza dough into 24 equal balls. Gently flatten each ball and press a piece of pepperoni and a piece of cheese into the dough. Wrap the dough around the pepperoni and cheese, pinching it together to create a seal. Gently roll the dough into a ball, and placed on a greased cookie sheet or a piece of parchment paper.
• Continue stuffing each ball of dough with cheese and pepperoni, then arrange into the shape of a tree, reserving two balls for the trunk of the tree. Leave about ½ inch of space between each ball.
• Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and allow to raise for ½ hour. Then brush with the melted butter, and sprinkle with parsley.
• To bake, preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the dough is lightly browned. Serve with pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
