BITES
The Festive
Christmas Tree Pizza
At Family & Life, we
believe that cooking can,
and should be, a family
affair! This month, with the
festive season just around
the corner, we present
the Christmas Tree Pizza,
everyone’s favourite
Italian cuisine given a
celebratory twist.
Everyone’s favourite time of the year is here again, when the cool temperatures are a welcome respite from the normally
scorching afternoons and everyone is looking forward to an extended break from work and school.
It’s the festive season, and what better way to celebrate this occasion than by gathering all the family members in the kitchen to
help create a festive feast. We’ve collaborated with Chef Derrick Ang of the Mount Faber Leisure Group to bring to you and your
family this delicious and Instagram-worthy Christmas Tree Pizza.
Simple yet well-loved by everyone in the family, the Christmas Tree Pizza can be easily baked by your children while you stand
on the sidelines and oversee the preparation. Your kids can help to spread the tomato sauce on the pizza based and litter the
pizza with their favourite toppings (it doesn’t have to be cherry tomatoes and smoked turkey ham!) while you take control of the
chopping and baking.
Have fun with this recipe and do share your Christmas Tree Pizza pictures with us!
