 Servings- 4

 Ingredients

 Pizza Dough - 1 (for base)

 The filling
Pesto- 1/2 cup
Cream Cheese- 2 tablespoon
Mix shredded cheese- 1/2 cup

 Method

 Cut the pizza dough in half and try to roll it in a triangle form it doesn't need to be perfect as we have to layer it.

 Spread the filling over top, cheese has no limit try whatever flavors you love. Now, place the other half over the spread mixture and seal the ends while shaping it as a tree.

 Give deep cuts on both sides making a trunk shape in between, now twist the edges twice and keep doing it until the end. 

 Into the oven at 375 F (185 C) for about 25 minutes. Once done brush some butter over the hot bread tree and grate some parmesan, serve it with any dip you love. Enjoy!
