Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can (13.8 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Classic Crust Pizza Crust
- 8–9 cheese sticks
- 1 jar (25 oz) Muir Glen™ Organic Pasta Sauce
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups baby arugula
- 2 red bell peppers, 1 diced, 1 sliced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 2 oz spiced salami, thinly sliced
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Sauces for dipping and serving (ranch dressing, balsamic vinegar, pizza sauce, etc.)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. - Prepare the Pizza Crust:
Unroll the refrigerated pizza crust and stretch it into a circular wreath shape. Leave a hole in the center to resemble a wreath. - Layer Cheese Sticks:
Place cheese sticks evenly around the outer ring of the dough, leaving space between each for folding. - Add Toppings:
Scatter diced red and green bell peppers, sliced red bell pepper, spiced salami, and shredded mozzarella over the crust. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan for extra flavor. - Fold Crust Over Cheese Sticks:
Fold the dough over the cheese sticks to create a braided or crescent-like pattern around the wreath. Seal edges gently to prevent cheese from leaking. - Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted. - Add Fresh Arugula:
Once baked, remove from the oven and top with fresh baby arugula for a festive, fresh contrast. - Serve with Dipping Sauces:
Place your Holiday Pizza Wreath on a platter and serve with your choice of dipping sauces, like ranch, balsamic vinegar, or extra pizza sauce.
Notes
Use cheese sticks that melt easily for gooey, delicious pockets.
Pre-slicing the salami and vegetables ensures even cooking and prevents sogginess.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil before baking for a golden finish.
