Wreath Pizza – a Festive Twist for the Holidays

• tempo totale: 13 minutes

Ingredienti

1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup pizza sauce

2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Olive oil for drizzling

Italian seasoning (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Istruzioni

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to form a large circle. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.

Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Arrange the halved mozzarella balls and cherry tomatoes around the edges of the pizza, creating a wreath shape.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if desired.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Tips For Wreath Pizza:

Use cookie cutters to shape the dough into smaller individual wreaths for a fun party appetizer.

Add festive toppings like pepperoni or basil to resemble holly leaves and berries.

Make it extra cheesy by adding a mix of mozzarella and parmesan.

Serve with a side of marinara or ranch for dipping!
