Christmas Tree Party Appetizer
🎄Dough:
1 c water
1/2 c active sourdough starter (or you can use 1 yeast packet)
4 T melted butter (1/2 stick)
2 t sea salt
2 T honey
3 c all purpose flour
Mix well and follow instructions below (or long-ferment in the fridge. I love to keep the dough in the fridge for 2 days to help neutralize gluten.) Let dough rise until almost doubled.
Cut the dough into 2 halves, and roll into 2 rectangles. Layer on one rectangle with thinly cut cheese and ham. Place other rectangle on top and gently pull edges to fully cover. Cut into 12 one-inch strips. Fold strips back and forth layering larger layers on bottom to smaller on top, creating the shape of a Christmas tree. Stick a skewer through bottom to top. Bake @ 400 for 12-14 mins, or until lightly browned on edges.
🎄Garlic Butter and Topping:
4 T melted butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 t salt
3 cloves minced garlic
3 T minced parsley
Top with grated Parmesan cheese
Melt butter and add remaining ingredients, except for cheese. Mix together and brush over trees when they come out of the oven. Sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top of the trees to resemble snow.
Cut 12 small stars (a small star-shaped cookie cutter makes this much easier) and stick them through the top of the skewers as a tree topper.
This will quickly become a party favorite! Enjoy!
