Spinach Breadsticks Tree (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1 tube of pizza dough from the fridge (13.8 ounces).
02 -
6 ounces of softened cream cheese.
03 -
Two minced garlic cloves.
04 -
1/2 teaspoon of regular onion powder.
05 -
A teaspoon of Italian herb mix.
06 -
12 ounces of thawed frozen spinach, squeezed dry.
07 -
A pinch of chili powder (1/4 teaspoon).
08 -
1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
09 -
1/2 teaspoon of salt.
10 -
Grate about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese.
11 -
A cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
12 -
2 tablespoons of melted butter.
13 -
Another teaspoon of Italian herbs for the topping.
14 -
A sprinkle of garlic salt or simple garlic powder (1/2 teaspoon).
# Instructions:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F and let it warm up.
02 -
Combine spinach and cream cheese in a bowl. Stir in garlic, salt, onion powder, chili powder, pepper, Italian herbs, parmesan, and mozzarella. Mix until nice and smooth.
03 -
Roll out the pizza dough over parchment paper. Trim it into a big triangle and two smaller ones. Connect the smaller triangles on a new sheet until they match the first triangle in size.
04 -
Spread the spinach filling on the joined triangle. Place the large triangle on top, creating a stuffed bread.
05 -
Leave the center untouched, about an inch wide. Slice strips from the middle outward, keeping an inch of space between each cut.
06 -
Take each strip and twist it gently. Shorter pieces at the top get a half twist, while the longer ones at the bottom can be twisted 2-3 times.
07 -
Put this in the oven and bake for around 30 to 35 minutes until it’s golden all over.
08 -
Melt the butter, mix it with garlic and seasoning, and brush it across the hot breadsticks before serving.
