Pull-Apart Christmas Tree with Basil EVOO and Sundried Tomato & Chilli Pesto

Ingredients

• 1 lb. refrigerated Pizza Dough
• Egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water)
• 7 Mozzarella sticks
• 1/4 cup melted Butter
• 1/2 cup thinly grated Parmesan
• 2 tbsp Vasse Virgin Basil Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 tbsp chopped Parsley
• 1 tbsp chopped Rosemary
• Vasse Virgin Sundried Tomato & Chilli Pesto (warmed for serving)

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 230 degrees celsius and line a large baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Cut mozzarella sticks into 1” pieces.
3. On a floured surface, divide pizza dough into two pieces. Stretch and roll each piece of dough into a long rectangle, then cut dough into 2” squares (you’ll need 33 squares in total).
4. Wrap a dough square around each piece of mozzarella, forming a tightly sealed ball. Place balls seam-side down on the baking tray in the shape of a Christmas tree (they should be touching).
5. Brush egg wash on dough balls and bake until golden 15-20 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, whisk together melted butter, parmesan and herbs. Brush onto the baked pizza dough and finish with generous sprinkle of Basil EVOO.
7. Serve warm with Sundried Tomato & Chilli Pesto for dipping. Enjoy!
