Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packages refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz / 226 g)
- 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 oz / 226 g)
- 1 cup sour cream (240 mL)
- 1 package ranch seasoning mix (1 oz / 28 g)
- 1 ½ cups fresh broccoli, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- ½ cup radishes, halved and thinly-sliced
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
- 1 tsp dried dill weed
- ¼ tsp garlic salt
Instructions
- Crust Preparation: Preheat oven to 350°F with rack centered. Coat jelly roll pan with nonstick spray. Unroll crescent roll dough, pressing evenly across pan, creating a smooth surface. Perforate with fork to prevent bubbling.
- Initial Baking: Bake crust until golden and crisp, about 10-12 minutes. Cool completely at room temperature.
- Cream Mixture: Whisk sour cream, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, dill, and garlic salt until smooth and lump-free.
- Layering Foundation: Spread cream mixture evenly across cooled crust, covering from edge to edge.
- Vegetable Arrangement: Distribute chopped broccoli, radishes, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and celery over cream cheese layer, creating a colorful vegetable mosaic.
- Flavor Development: Refrigerate pizza for 1-2 hours to allow flavors to meld and cream cheese to set.
- Serving: Slice chilled pizza into 16 symmetrical squares, ready for immediate enjoyment.
Notes
- Crust Perfection: Ensure dough is evenly pressed without tears or gaps for a uniform base that bakes consistently.
- Flavor Melding: Refrigerating allows cream cheese mixture to set and vegetables to absorb seasoning, intensifying overall taste experience.
- Knife Technique: Use a sharp, clean knife when cutting to create precise, neat squares without dragging ingredients.
- Vegetable Prep: Chop vegetables uniformly and pat dry to prevent excess moisture from making the pizza base soggy.
