🍕 Wreath Pizza – A Festive Twist for the Holidays! 🍕

📢 Gather around the table with this festive pizza that promises to light up your holiday spirit and satisfy your taste buds!

🍽️ Ingredients 🍽️  
- 1 cup fresh mozzarella balls (bocconcini), halved  
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)  
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved  
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese  
- 1 cup pizza sauce  
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish  
- Olive oil for drizzling  
- Italian seasoning (optional)  
- Salt and pepper to taste  

🧑‍🍳 Directions 🧑‍🍳  
1. Begin by preheating your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.  
2. On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a large circle. Transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or onto a pizza peel if you're using a stone.  
3. Evenly spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.  
4. Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.  
5. Creatively arrange the halved mozzarella balls and cherry tomatoes along the edges of the pizza to form a wreath shape.  
6. Drizzle a bit of olive oil across the top and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning if you're using it.  
7. Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese bubbles beautifully.  
8. Remove from the oven and add a touch of freshness with some basil leaves scattered over the top before slicing.
