Shaping the Tree |

Ingredients: |
Ingredients: 1 tube refrigerated thin crust pizza crust

Directions: |
Directions:Unroll the pizza crust on a piece of parchment paper. Using a pizza slicer, cut the crust into a large triangle. This gives you one large triangle and two smaller ones. Transfer the smaller triangles to a second piece of parchment paper, placing the long side edges together, to make another large triangle. The dough will stretch out a little as you move it around – no biggie, just gently tug it into the shape you want, pressing the two halves together in the middle. This will be the base of the breadsticks. I also gave the base a short little trunk. Spread the spinach dip over the base. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese, and then top with the first triangle of dough. You’ll likely have to tug at the dough a little bit to make sure it completely covers the base triangle. Using a pizza cutter, cut slices from the middle to each edge about every inch down the triangle. Don’t slice all the way across; leave about an inch down the middle of the tree intact. Grab each “slice” and twist it to form a tree. For the top slice that’s very short you’ll just give it a half twist; as you go further down the tree and hit longer slices you’ll give them two or three full twists. |
