Christmas tree

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Cut the mozzarella into pieces.

Step 2

Cut the pizza dough into 23 pieces (for a tree with a base of 6 balls)

Step 3

Place a piece of mozzarella inside each piece of dough and delicately roll to form a ball.

Step 4

On a baking sheet, place 6 balls next to each other for the bottom row. Continue each row with one less ball than the previous one. Place the last 2 balls at the bottom for the stem of the tree.

Step 5

Separate the egg white from the yolk, conserving only the yolk. Add a few drops of water and mix.

Step 6

Using a brush, coat the entire tree with the egg yolk. Bake for 15 minutes at 200°C.

Step 7

In the meantime, melt the butter in a small pan. Add the garlic (grated or finely diced) and the chopped parsley. Remove from the heat, season with salt & pepper and mix.

Step 8

Remove the tree from the oven and cover it with the garlic butter. Serve while hot. Enjoy!
