Equipment

Ingredients

12 oz frozen chopped spinach thawed and squeezed dry
6 oz cream cheese softened
½ tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp chili powder
⅛ tsp pepper
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ cup parmesan cheese grated
1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
13.8 oz tube refrigerated pizza crust

Garlic Butter Topping

2 Tbsp butter
1 tsp Italian seasoning
¼ tsp garlic salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl, beat together the spinach, cream cheese, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, pepper, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Beat until creamy. Set aside.
To make the Christmas tree shape, unroll the pizza crust onto a sheet of parchment paper. Press out into a 9 x 13-inch rectangle. Use a pizza cutter to cut one larger tree-shaped triangle and two smaller triangles. Move the smaller triangles to a second sheet of parchment paper with their straight edges touching. Press together to create a second triangle of dough that is the same shape as the first.
Spread the spinach dip across the second triangle. Flip the first triangle over on top so you have layers of pizza dough with spinach dip sandwiched between them.
Make 1-inch wide cuts along each side of the tree, leaving about an inch in the center intact to make the branches of the tree.
Grab each "slice" and twist it upwards. At the top, where they are short, you'll only twist halfway around. At the bottom, where they are longer, you can do two or three full twists.
Melt butter and stir in garlic salt and seasoning, then brush over breadsticks. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through on the bottom. Do not undercook. Serve warm.
