Ingredients
Scale
1 package store-bought pizza dough (or homemade if preferred)
1 cup pizza sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or any cheese of your choice)
1/2 cup sliced red bell peppers (for garlands)
1/4 cup black olives, sliced (for ornaments)
1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely chopped (for tree decorations)
1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved (for extra decoration)
1 tablespoon olive oil (for brushing)
1 small piece of dough (to shape into a star for the top)
Fresh basil (for garnish, optional)
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you’re using a pizza stone, let it heat up for 10-15 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large triangle shape. Trim the dough to resemble a Christmas tree. Use leftover dough to make a star for the top.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza.
Decorate your Christmas tree pizza with red bell peppers for garlands, olives and cherry tomatoes as ornaments, and green bell peppers as additional decorations. Place the star-shaped dough at the top.
Brush the edges with olive oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh basil, slice, and serve.
