Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven according to the instructions on the pizza dough package, typically around 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the refrigerated pizza dough onto a clean, floured surface and roll it out into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Slice the dough into triangle shapes.
  3. Take each triangle piece and place a generous amount of shredded cheese at the base of the triangle.
  4. Carefully stack the dough triangles on the prepared baking sheet to form the shape of a Christmas tree, overlapping each triangle slightly.
  5. Melt the herbed garlic butter and use a pastry brush to coat the assembled Cheesy Christmas Tree Bread with melted butter.
  6. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the butter-brushed dough tree.
  7. Bake the Cheesy Christmas Tree Bread for about 15-20 minutes, or until the dough is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  8. Remove the Cheesy Christmas Tree Bread from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm alongside marinara sauce, pizza sauce, or pesto for dipping.
