Time 1h

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 string cheese mozzarella cheese sticks (0.75 oz each)
5 extra-sharp cheddar cheese sticks (0.75 oz each)
5 Colby-Monterey Jack cheese sticks (0.75 oz each)
2 cans (16.3 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Grands!™ Southern Homestyle Buttermilk Biscuits (8 Count)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
1 can (15 oz) Muir Glen™ organic pizza sauce

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line 18x14-inch cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper.
  • Cut each cheese stick into 4 pieces to make 64 pieces. Separate each can of dough into 8 biscuits. Separate each biscuit into 2 layers for a total of 32 biscuit rounds. Flatten each biscuit round into 4-inch circle.
  • Place 2 pieces of the same type of cheese on center of each round. Fold edges up and over cheese; pinch firmly to seal. Using photo as a guide, place biscuits randomly by assorted cheeses, seam sides down and next to each other in a tree-shaped pattern on cookie sheet, starting with trunk and working up to the top.
  • In small microwavable bowl, microwave butter uncovered on High 30 to 60 seconds or until melted. Stir in garlic powder and Italian seasoning. Brush mixture on tops of biscuits. Bake 29 to 33 minutes or until golden brown and biscuits are no longer doughy in center.
  • Top with chives. In small microwavable bowl, microwave pizza sauce covered on High 60 to 90 seconds, stirring halfway through, until warmed through. Serve cheese-stuffed biscuits with pizza sauce.

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 pounds store-bought pizza dough
All-purpose flour, for dusting
One 8-ounce block part-skim mozzarella
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons chopped mixed fresh herbs such as sage, rosemary and thyme
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
6 to 8 large basil leaves, sliced into ribbons
2 cups store-bought marinara, warmed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Sprinkle a work surface with flour to prevent sticking. Cut the pizza dough into 32 pieces by dividing it in half, then cutting each half in half and so on until you have 32 fairly evenly-sized pieces. Cut the mozzarella into 32 cubes.
  • Line a baking sheet with foil and spray lightly with cooking spray. Insert 1 piece of the mozzarella into each of the dough pieces, pinching the dough around the cheese and rolling into a ball. Make sure the cheese is completely sealed inside the dough. Repeat with all of the cheese and dough.
  • Arrange the dough balls into the shape of a Christmas tree on the prepared baking sheet. Start with 1 at the center of the top of the sheet pan as the treetop. Then make rows of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in a pyramid shape below the first ball, to make a triangular "tree" shape. Place the last 2 balls at the top of the pyramid to act as a tree topper.
  • Melt the butter in a small pan. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then remove from heat. Brush half of the garlic butter over the dough and sprinkle with kosher salt. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the dough is lightly browned and cooked through. (It¿s okay if some of the cheese bursts through ¿ it will crisp up and taste delicious.)
  • Remove from the oven and brush with the remaining garlic butter, then sprinkle with the parsley and mixed herbs. Sprinkle with the Parmesan and spread the basil ribbons over the top. If desired, spoon some of the sauce in lines across the tree to look like a garland. Serve immediately with the remaining sauce on the side.

Christmas Tree Pull-Apart Bread Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: cream cheese, sour cream, club house ranch seasoning, frozen spinach, thin crust pizza dough, pesto, unsalted butter, garlic, club house italian herbs, parmesan cheese, marinara sauce

Provided by Alix Traeger

Categories     Snacks

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup cream cheese
¼ cup sour cream
1 oz club house ranch seasoning
12 oz frozen spinach, thawed and drained
11 oz thin crust pizza dough
½ cup pesto
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 oz garlic, minced
1 tablespoon club house italian herbs
½ cup parmesan cheese
marinara sauce, for dipping

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Flip a baking sheet upside down and place a piece of parchment paper on top. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and Club House ranch dip seasoning. Stir until well mixed. Fold in the spinach. Set aside.
  • Roll out the tube of pizza dough on a piece of parchment paper set on a flat surface. Using a pizza cutter or knife, cut from a bottom corner to the center of the top. Repeat on the other side so you have 1 full triangle and 2 halves of a triangle on either side.
  • Transfer both side-triangle pieces to the prepared baking sheet. Pinch the middle seam to seal and stretch the dough to form a single triangle.
  • Spread the spinach dip over a side of the triangle.
  • Spread the pesto over the other side of the triangle.
  • Flip the remaining dough triangle on top of the filling and remove the parchment from the top. Stretch the dough to cover completely.
  • Using a pizza cutter or knife, make horizontal slices about 1 inch apart from the top to bottom, leaving the middle "trunk" of the tree intact.
  • Pull the strips outwards and twist.
  • In a small bowl, mix the melted butter and garlic and brush over the tree.
  • Sprinkle with the Club House Italian herbs and shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the tree for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
  • Serve with marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!
