Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cans (8 ounces/225 grams each) crescent roll dough
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup (120 grams) sour cream
- ½ cup (50 grams) shredded cheddar cheese
Vegetable Toppings:
- ½ cup (60 grams) broccoli, finely chopped
- ½ cup (60 grams) cauliflower, finely chopped
- ½ cup (50 grams) shredded carrots
- ½ cup (50 grams) diced red bell pepper
- ½ cup (50 grams) diced cucumber
- ¼ cup (30 grams) sliced black olives (optional)
Seasoning:
- 1 packet (1 ounce/28 grams) ranch seasoning mix
Instructions
- Transform a baking sheet into a crisp foundation by heating the oven to 375F (190C). Gently unfurl the crescent roll dough across the greased surface, carefully pressing and sealing the delicate seams to create a unified crust.
- Bake the foundation until it achieves a golden, enticing hue, approximately 10-12 minutes. Allow the crust to cool completely, creating a perfect canvas for toppings.
- Craft a luxurious spread by whisking cream cheese, sour cream, and ranch seasoning until smooth and velvety, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Once the crust has cooled, generously lavish the creamy mixture across the entire surface, creating an even, luscious layer.
- Artfully arrange a vibrant medley of chopped vegetables – broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, bell peppers, cucumber, and olives – transforming the pizza into a colorful masterpiece.
- Shower the vegetable landscape with a delicate blanket of shredded cheddar cheese, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
- Protect the creation with plastic wrap and allow it to rest in the refrigerator, letting flavors harmonize for a minimum of 30 minutes.
- When ready to serve, slice into elegant squares or rectangles, presenting a refreshing dish perfect for casual gatherings or sophisticated appetizers.
Notes
- Customize the crust by using whole wheat or gluten-free crescent roll dough for dietary restrictions, ensuring everyone can enjoy this delightful veggie pizza.
- Prep vegetables in advance and store in airtight containers to save time and make assembly quick and effortless during busy weekdays.
- Experiment with seasonal vegetables like roasted zucchini, cherry tomatoes, or thinly sliced radishes to add unexpected crunch and vibrant colors to the pizza.
- Replace ranch seasoning with dried herbs like dill, basil, or Italian seasoning for a different flavor profile that keeps the dish exciting and versatile.
