Let’s Prep

Alright, let’s get everything ready for this festive Christmas recipe. Grab a pack of 12 King’s Hawaiian Rolls—they’re soft, slightly sweet, and perfect for soaking up all that buttery garlic goodness. Next, you’ll need 48 mozzarella pearls because, let’s be honest, there’s no such thing as too much cheese.

A group of dinner rolls arranged on parchment paper in the shape of a Christmas tree, with the top roll forming the trees peak. The rolls have a golden-brown crust.

Slice the rolls in half horizontally and stuff each one with 4 mozzarella pearls. Don’t skimp—every bite needs that melty cheese pull. Once they’re stuffed, cut the rolls into four equal pieces and start arranging them on a baking sheet in the shape of a Christmas tree. This is where things start looking seriously festive.

Let’s Cook

Preheat your oven to 350°F and pop your bread tree into the oven for 10-12 minutes. While that’s baking away, let’s mix up the magic sauce.

In a bowl, combine 8 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, 1/3 cup of finely chopped fresh dill, 1/4 cup of thinly sliced chives, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of garlic salt. Stir it all together, and boom—you’ve got yourself a buttery herb mix that smells like pure heaven.
