Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated pizza dough
- 5 mozzarella cheese sticks
- 1 egg large
- 4 tbsp butter melted
- 1 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 3 tbsp parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 cup marinara sauce
Wreath Toppings
- fresh rosemary
- cranberries fresh or dried
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper.
- Unroll the pizza dough onto a lightly floured surface and spread the edges out for a uniform rectangle shape. Using a pizza cutter, slice the pizza dough into 30 pieces (6X5). Set aside.
- Unwrap the cheese sticks and slice each one into 1″ pieces. You will need a piece of cheese for each square of dough. Pull the edges of the dough around the piece of cheese, pinching the edges together to form a ball.
- Spray a ramekin with non-stick spray around the sides and place on the middle of the pizza pan. Place the dough balls around the ramekin, lightly touching, forming a wreath.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush each of the dough balls with the egg wash. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until the tops are golden brown.
- When there is about 5 minutes left, prepare the butter sauce for topping. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, parsley flakes, rosemary, basil, and garlic.
- When the rolls come out of the oven, immediately brush with the butter mixture. Then top with the parmesan cheese.Fill the ramekin with marinara sauce and serve!
