Ingredients
| 16 | frozen yeast dough dinner rolls, thawed to room temperature |
| ⅓ | cup pesto sauce |
| 1½ | cups shredded mozzarella cheese |
| HORMEL® Pepperoni slices | |
| Chopped red and green bell peppers | |
| 1 | slice yellow bell pepper cut into star shape |
| Crushed red pepper flakes, if desired |
Directions
Heat oven to 350° F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place rolls on sheet in pyramid shape starting with one at the top, two under it, then 3, then 4 and the last row 5 rolls. Leave some space between the rolls. Flatten and press rolls together to form a tree shape. Form remaining roll as trunk of tree.
Press middle of the rolls in, leaving the outside edge slightly rounded so the sauce and toppings do not run off.
Using a fork, poke rolls several times to prevent bubbles from forming. Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Spread pesto over crust. Sprinkle with cheese. Decorate as desired with pepperoni, peppers and red pepper flakes.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
