This * Christmas Tree Pizza * is not just adorable; it’s also incredibly quick and easy to whip up.

Ingredients
- 8 ounce refrigerated crescent dough sheet
- 2 cups finely chopped fresh vegetables (broccoli, carrots, bell peppers)
- 1 cup hummus
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Step-by-step instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Lightly flour your work surface, unroll the dough, and use a rolling pin to even it out.
Cut out Christmas tree shapes with a cookie cutter, rerolling the dough as needed.
Place the tree shapes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes, until lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let the trees cool completely on a wire rack.
Finely chop your vegetables and mix them to make a “confetti.”
Spread about 1 teaspoon of hummus on each cooled tree, then sprinkle with the vegetable confetti. Lightly cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
Recipe tips & variations
For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of feta or parmesan cheese on top. If your family loves a bit of spice, a dash of red pepper flakes can kick things up. Feel free to swap in your favorite veggies or whatever you have on hand. This recipe is quite forgiving, so get creative!
Storage & reheating
If you have any leftovers (which I doubt!), they store well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, simply pop them back in a 350-degree oven until warmed through.
FAQs
Can I use premade pizza dough instead of crescent dough?
You can definitely use premade pizza dough if that’s what you have. Just adjust the bake time as needed.
What if I don’t have a Christmas tree cookie cutter?
No problem! You can cut the dough into triangles with a sharp knife to resemble trees, or get creative with any cookie cutter shape you’ve got.
Can I make these gluten-free?
Absolutely, just substitute the crescent dough with a gluten-free dough option.
