Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill or Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
  • 1/2 cup diced cucumbers (seeded)
  • 1/4 cup sliced cherry tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onion
  • Optional: black olives, capers, shredded cheese, fresh herbs, red chili flakes

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Using parchment paper or cooking spray prevents the crust from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • Prepare the Crust: Roll out the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to create a smooth, even layer on the baking sheet. Pressing the seams together ensures a uniform crust.
  • Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely. Cooling the crust completely prevents the cream cheese mixture from melting.
  • Make the Cream Cheese Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dill (or Italian seasoning), onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste. Using a hand mixer or whisk ensures a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dry all vegetables. Dice, chop, or shred the vegetables into small, uniform pieces. This ensures that each bite of pizza is bursting with fresh flavors and vibrant colors. Cutting the vegetables into small, uniform pieces ensures even distribution and enhances the visual appeal.
  • Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean presentation. Arrange the prepared vegetables on the cream cheese layer in a single, even layer. Feel free to mix and match toppings to suit your taste. Leaving a small border around the edges creates a clean and professional presentation.
  • Chill the Pizza (Optional): For best results, chill the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Chilling the pizza allows the cream cheese mixture to set and the flavors to meld together.
  • Slice and Serve: Slice the pizza into wedges and serve immediately. This pizza is best enjoyed fresh.

Notes

  • Soften cream cheese for a smooth base.
  • Cut vegetables into small, uniform pieces.
  • Adjust spices to your taste.
  • Chill for best results.
