Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450 F.  Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. On a floured surface, divide the pizza dough into two equal pieces. Roll each piece of dough into a log and cut each log into 16 pieces (32 pieces in total). 
3. Flatten each piece of dough and place the pepperoni and cheese cube into the middle. Seal the dough around the filling and roll into a ball.
4. Place balls seam-side down on the baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree (they should be touching). Start at the top with one ball and work your way down. You should have 7 rows in total (the last row having 7 dough balls). For the stem of the tree, use 2 rows of 2 dough balls each.
5. Lightly brush the prepared egg wash on dough balls, place in the preheated oven and bake until golden, approximately 20-25 minutes.
6. While the dough is cooking, whisk together the melted butter, Parmesan and fresh herbs.
7. When the dough is cooked, remove from the oven. Brush the tree with the butter and herb mixture. Garnish with the cherry tomatoes.
8. Serve warm with your favorite marinara sauce for dipping.
