Steps to make the Christmas tree with ready-made pizza base

  • To prepare the Christmas tree pizza bites, first unroll 1 sheet of ready-made pizza base and cut it into 4 horizontal strips and 4 vertical strips using a knife or pizza cutter. Pour some tomato puree into a small bowl and add salt. If you want it to be more flavorful, you can also add dried oregano. Place 1 teaspoon of puree on each square of pizza, add a small amount of grated mozzarella for pizza, and a piece of sliced pork roast. Or any cold cut you like. Take the square of pizza and fold the corners well towards the center so that the filling stays inside, forming a dough ball.

  • Make sure the edges are well sealed and the filling does not spill out. Do the same for all the squares.

  • Now take a baking tray lined with parchment paper and place the pizza balls in the shape of a Christmas tree, close together, one on top, then two, then three below, and so on. Meanwhile, preheat the static oven to 430 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pizza base for 15 minutes.

  • Wait for it to cool slightly, and then serve! Tasty and it will make you look great!
