Easy Cheesy Christmas Tree Bread

Instructions


  1. Pro tip: Hold on! Are you sure you’re ready to start cooking? Save energy by ensuring you don’t heat your oven too soon.
    Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
  2. Spread the pizza dough out on a lightly floured Flexible Cutting Board, using the Essential Utility Knife, and cut the dough into 30 squares. Next, slice the mozzarella cheese into 30 bite-sized pieces.
  3. Add a piece of mozzarella to each square of dough and form a ball, rolling with your hands. Pinch to seal the edges.
  4. Place the dough balls on the Silicone Baking Sheet, top-side down, into the tree shape as shown (each dough ball should be touching). Whisk the egg and water together in a Space Saver Bowl and lightly brush each dough ball with the egg wash using the Basting Brush.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown (Oven Heat 180°C/350°F). While the bread is baking, microwave the butter within the MicroCook Pitcher 1L until melted (Microwave Power/Time: 600 Watts/10s).
  6. Chop the herbs with the Herb Chopper and stir together with half of the Parmesan, cheese and butter.
  7. When the bread is finished baking, brush with the herb butter and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the top. Serve right away
