Scale
- 1 lb. refrigerated pizza dough

- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into two pieces and roll each into a long rectangle. Cut the dough into 2-inch squares to create a total of 33 squares.
- Wrap each dough square around a piece of mozzarella, forming sealed balls and place seam-side down on the baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree. Brush with egg wash.
