Dough Base
- 2 tubes of refrigerator crescent rolls
Spread
- 1 8-ounce package of cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 envelope of dry ranch salad dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons dill weed or 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped small
Toppings
- 1 small head of broccoli, cut small
- 3/4 cup matchstick or shredded carrots
- 1 red bell pepper, diced small
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced small
- 1 English cucumber, diced small
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as directed on the crescent roll package instructions to prepare for baking the crust.
- Prepare Vegetables: Dice all the vegetables finely—broccoli, carrots, red and yellow bell peppers, and cucumber—and set aside for assembly.
- Assemble Crescent Roll Base: Spread the crescent rolls out evenly across a cookie sheet, covering the entire surface. Use your fingers to pinch and seal the perforations between rolls to create one solid dough base.
- Bake the Crust: Bake the sealed crescent roll dough according to the package instructions, usually around 11 to 13 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool the Crust: Let the baked crust cool completely on a wire rack. For best results, you may cover it lightly with a paper towel or plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature overnight to ensure the spread doesn’t melt.
- Make Ranch-Dill Spread: In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, dry ranch dressing mix, and dill. Stir well until all ingredients are fully blended and smooth.
- Spread the Base Layer: Evenly spread the ranch-dill cream cheese mixture over the cooled crescent roll crust, creating a thick, flavorful layer.
- Add Vegetable Toppings: Top the spread evenly with the diced vegetables in this order: broccoli, cucumber, yellow bell pepper, red bell pepper, and carrots to add vibrant color and fresh crunch.
- Serve: Cut the veggie pizza into equal squares and serve fresh as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- Ensure the crescent roll dough is sealed well to prevent any gaps during baking.
- The crust must be completely cooled before adding the spread to avoid melting and sogginess.
- You can prepare the veggie toppings ahead of time and store them refrigerated.
- This recipe is best served fresh and can be refrigerated for up to 1 day after assembling.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on seasonal availability or preference.
