- 15 ounces Mozzarella cheese
- 48 pieces small slices of pepperoni
- 2 tablespoon butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- Small bowl of pizza sauce, for top of the tree, warmed
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a large cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Separate dough into 24 triangles. Use kitchen scissors or knife to cut each triangle in half lengthwise.
- Sprinkle 2 teaspoons of cheese on the shortest side of each triangle. Place a small slice of pepperoni on top. Roll up each, starting at the shortest side of the triangle and rolling to the opposite point. Place rolled pieces next to each other in a tree-shaped pattern on a cookie sheet, starting with the trunk and working up to top. TIP: Leave room at the top of the board for a bowl of pizza sauce.

- Serve hot with a bowl of warm pizza sauce (in a bowl placed at the top of the tree).
