INSTRUCTIONS • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients. Combine cheeses in a medium bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until mostly melted. • Mix in dry ingredients and eggs with hands, a wooden spoon or a food processor. The dough will be sticky. Roll small pieces of dough around mozzarella pieces to make 24 balls. You’ll have one leftover piece. • Arrange rolls into a Christmas tree on prepared sheet, using picture as a guide. Freeze for 30 minutes–1 hour. Preheat oven to 425°F. In a small bowl, whisk together egg yolk and water, and brush rolls. Grate fresh parmesan cheese over the top. • Bake for 18 minutes, then broil for 2–3 minutes, until golden brown. Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add garlic, chopped rosemary and thyme, and turn heat to low, stirring constantly, for 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside. • Brush hot rolls with garlic butter sauce and top with parmesan cheese, sea salt and herbs. Serve with your favorite marinara sauce or other dipping sauce.
