Ingredients

  • 1 can refrigerated pizza crust
  • 1/2 cup salted butter
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp cinnamon
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 Tbsp milk

Instructions

  • 1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the butter, sugar and cinnamon.
  • 3. Open the can of pizza crust dough and spread it into a long rectangle on a floured surface. Use a pizza cutter to divide dough into two large triangles.
  • 4. Line a large baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper.
  • 5. Place a large triangle of pizza dough on the cookie sheet.
  • 6. Spread the cinnamon mixture over the dough, leaving the edges uncovered.
  • 7. Place the second dough triangle over the cinnamon layer of the first triangle of dough. Press the edges together.
  • 8. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut slices into each side of the dough tree about two inches into the tree and one inch apart.
  • 9. Twist each of these pieces a few times to create breadsticks.
  • 10. Melt butter and then brush over the entire tree. Add a sprinkle of sugar if desired.
  • 11. Place the prepared baking sheet into the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through on the bottom.
  • 12. In a small bowl mix powdered sugar and milk to create an icing glaze. Drizzle this over the entire tree shaped baked bread.
  • 13. Serve warm. Guests can pull each cinnamon stick from the tree as they would like.
