ingredients
- 1 pound raw pizza dough
- Egg wash (1 egg mixes with 1 tbsp water)
- 7 mozzarella sticks
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced basil
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped rosemary
- 1 large garlic clove, minced
- Marinara sauce, warmed (for serving)
Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 450ยฐF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Cut mozzarella sticks into 1โ pieces and set aside.
Step 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 2โ squares (youโll need 33 total).
Step 4
Wrap a dough square around each piece of mozzarella, forming a tightly sealed ball. Place balls seam-side down on the baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree (they should be touching). Brush egg wash on dough balls and bake until golden about 20 minutes.
Step 5
Meanwhile, whisk together melted butter, parmesan, garlic, and herbs. Brush on baked pizza balls. Serve warm with marinara for dipping.
