TIPS FOR MAKING THIS SPINACH BREAD TREE
- Make sure that you squeeze all the excess liquid that you can out of the frozen spinach. If you don’t, you’ll find that there is too much liquid released and will cause your bread to become soggy.
INGREDIENTS NEEDED TO MAKE THIS SPINACH BREAD TREE
- 12 oz Frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
- 6 oz cream cheese softened
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup grated cheddar OR mozzarella cheese
- 1 tube refrigerated thin crust pizza crust
- 2 tablespoons butter
HOW TO MAKE SPINACH TREE BREAD
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
In a bowl, beat together the spinach and cream cheese.
Add garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, pepper, and Italian seasoning and beat to combine.
Add parmesan cheese and 1/2 of the cheddar or mozzarella cheese and beat to combine. (The other half of the cheddar or mozzarella cheese will be sprinkled over the filling when you shape the Christmas tree.)
Shape into a Christmas tree by cutting slits in the slides to look like branches.
Bake for about 22 minutes until quite golden brown on top and cooked through on the bottom.
Melt butter and stir in garlic salt and seasoning, then brush over breadsticks.
Serve warm.
