Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface and cut it into Christmas tree shapes using a tree-shaped cookie cutter. Alternatively, shape the dough freehand with a knife.
Add Sauce: Place the tree-shaped dough pieces on the prepared baking sheet and spread a thin layer of pizza sauce on each.
Top with Cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. For extra holiday flair, add some shredded cheddar cheese to mimic garland or ornaments.
Decorate Trees: Arrange the pepperoni, bell peppers, and olives to resemble Christmas tree decorations. Be creative!
Bake: Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.
Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a touch of green and serve warm.

Notes

Use cookie cutters in other holiday shapes for variety.
Substitute ingredients like vegan cheese or gluten-free dough to accommodate dietary preferences.
Serve with marinara or ranch dipping sauce for extra flavor.
