Description
A festive pull-apart bread shaped like a Christmas tree, filled with gooey cheese and garlic butter, perfect for holiday parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 round of rolled dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup softened garlic butter
- 2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water (for egg wash)
- Fresh chopped parsley (for garnish)
- Flaky sea salt (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a round of rolled dough and cut it into tree-shaped sections or concentric rings.
- Layer softened garlic butter and shredded cheese between the layers of dough.
- Twist each “branch” of the tree to allow the cheese to peek through.
- Brush the assembled tree with egg wash or melted butter.

Notes
Double the garlic butter for more flavor and use low-moisture cheese for the best texture.
