Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 (13.8 oz) can refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 10–12 slices of pepperoni, cut into small shapes (e.g., stars or ornaments)
- 1/4 cup diced green bell peppers (for “garland”)
- 1/4 cup diced red bell peppers (for “ornaments”)
- 2 tablespoons black olives, sliced (optional, for “ornaments”)
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Shape the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape it into a large triangle to resemble a Christmas tree. Use any leftover dough to form a trunk.
- Add the Sauce: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Cheese Layer: Sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese evenly over the sauce.
- Decorate the Tree: Use the green and red bell peppers to create “garland” and “ornaments” on the tree. Arrange the pepperoni slices or cut shapes as desired. Add black olives for extra decoration.
- Season and Drizzle: Sprinkle Italian seasoning over the pizza and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Let the pizza cool slightly, then slice and serve. Enjoy your festive Christmas Tree Pizza!
