1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional for a bit of heat
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil to prevent the bread from sticking. This ensures a golden bottom and easy cleanup later.
In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, dried parsley, oregano, and sea salt. Stir the mixture well so the herbs are evenly distributed. This flavored butter will be the key to the savory crust on each piece of bread.
Divide your dough into approximately 30 small, equal-sized pieces. Flatten each piece slightly in the palm of your hand and place a pinch of shredded mozzarella in the center. Pinch the edges together tightly to form a small ball, ensuring the cheese is fully enclosed.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree, starting with one ball at the top and increasing the number in each row. Use any remaining dough to create a small trunk at the bottom. Leave a tiny bit of space between the balls as they will expand during baking.
Brush the herb butter mixture generously over the entire surface of the dough balls. Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top for extra crunch. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling inside.
