Equipment
- baking sheet
- oven
- knife
- cutting board
- measuring spoons
Ingredients
- 1 tube refrigerated crescent roll dough 16-ounce
- 4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese sliced into 1/4-inch thick rounds
- 2 medium ripe tomatoes thinly sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Unroll the crescent dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Arrange the triangles in a circle on a parchment-lined baking sheet, with the wide ends overlapping in the center and the pointed ends facing outward, forming a sunburst pattern. Press the overlapping dough gently to seal.
- Bake the dough for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet.
- Arrange the mozzarella slices in a single layer over the wide center of the baked crescent ring, leaving the pointed ends uncovered. Top the mozzarella with a single layer of tomato slices.
- Sprinkle the chopped basil evenly over the tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil and balsamic glaze over the top, then season with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately, pulling apart the crescent points to share. The wreath should hold its shape but be easy to tear into portions.
