Today’s recipe has been submitted by Rhodes™ Bake-N-Serve.

Christmas Tree Pizza
16 Rhodes™ Dinner Rolls, thawed to room temperature
1/2 cup Alfredo sauce
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
pepperoni (2 sizes)
red, green and yellow peppers
red pepper flakes

Place 16 rolls on a sprayed baking sheet in a pyramid shape starting with one at the top, two under it, three, four and the last row five rolls. Leave some space between the rolls. Flatten and press rolls together to form a tree shape. Leave the outside edge slightly rounded so the sauce and toppings do not run off. The trunk of the tree is one roll placed under the last row of five. Tuck it under and flatten. Poke rolls several times with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming and pre-bake at 350 degree for 10-12 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Spread Alfredo sauce over the crust, and sprinkle with cheese. Decorate as desired with pepperoni, peppers cut into different shapes and red pepper flakes. Bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
