Equipment
- Pizza Shape Cutter
Ingredients
- 1 Pound Pizza Dough
- ¼ Cup Basil Pesto
- ¼ Cup Mozzarella Cheese Shredded
- ¼ Cup Cherry Tomatoes Thinly Sliced
- Pinch Salt
- Pinch Pepper
- ¼ Cup All Purpose Flour For Rolling
- ¼ Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes Optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.

- Cut out tree shapes using a 5-inch tree cookie cutter. Place on baking sheet.
- Par-bake the tree bases for 4–5 minutes until slightly puffed and golden.
- Remove from oven. Spread 1–1½ teaspoon of pesto on each, leaving a small border.

Notes
Use Fresh Dough: If using frozen, allow it to thaw fully before shaping to get the best rise and texture.
Avoid Overbaking: Keep a close eye in the final few minutes—the mini size means they cook quickly!
Uniform Thickness: Roll dough evenly so all your pizzas bake at the same rate.
