Ingredients
Let's gather the ingredients!
- 24 ounces crescent roll dough
- 8 mozzarella sticks
- 1 large egg fresh
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ tsp garlic grated
- 2 tbsp parsley chopped, divided
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
Let's Begin!
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then set aside.
- Slice each of the mozzarella sticks into four even pieces, so that you end up with 32 total mozzarella cheese pieces, then set aside.
- Prepare the dough and separate it along the pre-cut sections. Use kitchen shears or a knife to then cut each triangle in half lengthwise.
- Place one of the cut mozzarella cheese pieces at the wide end of one dough triangle, then roll it up toward the pointy end. Use your fingers to push down on the end and the sides to seal the dough. Repeat this step until you’ve used all 32 dough triangles and all 32 pieces of mozzarella.
- Form the tree by placing the rolled dough pieces onto the prepared baking sheet, Shaping it into a Christmas tree form
- In a small bowl, lightly whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Use a pastry brush and brush the egg wash over the entire top and sides of the dough.
Let's bake and serve!
- Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes, just until the top is golden brown.
- Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Then whisk in the garlic and half of the chopped parsley.
- Once you remove the baked bread from the oven, immediately brush the melted butter mixture over the entire tree, then sprinkle parmesan cheese, and finally, sprinkle the remaining chopped parsley over the tree.
- Serve immediately with a side of marinara sauce, and enjoy with family and friends!
