Ingredients

  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 1 (13.8 ounce) package Pillsbury® refrigerated classic pizza dough
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 8 sprigs fresh rosemary, or more to taste
  • 6 medium cherry tomatoes, halved, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sliced green olives, or more to taste

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2
Pour 1/4 cup olive oil into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish or rimmed baking sheet. Spread pizza crust over the surface to fit.

Step 3
Stir together 2 tablespoons olive oil, garlic, parsley, kosher salt, and pepper flakes in a small bowl. Brush oil mixture over the dough. Make indentations all over the surface of the dough by pressing your finger or the end of a wooden spoon into it.

Step 4
Create a festive wreath or Christmas tree shape in the center of the dough with rosemary sprigs, cherry tomatoes, and olives. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges are golden brown, about 17 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Cook’s Notes:

The 1/4 cup olive oil is necessary for creating the crispy crust. Don't skip this part or try to cut back on it!
