Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 (8 ounces / 226 grams) packages refrigerated crescent rolls
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 (8 ounces / 226 grams) package cream cheese, softened
Seasonings:
- 1 (1 ounce / 28 grams) package ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
Vegetables:
- 1 ½ cups chopped fresh broccoli
- ½ cup halved and thinly-sliced radishes
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 1 stalk celery, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Position the oven rack in the center and heat to 350 degrees F. Thoroughly coat a jelly roll pan with nonstick cooking spray to ensure easy release.
- Gently unroll the crescent roll dough, pressing it evenly across the prepared pan. Create a smooth, uniform crust by using fingertips to distribute the dough. Allow the dough to rest briefly, then perforate the surface with a fork to prevent unwanted bubbling during baking.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated oven and bake until the crust transforms into a golden, crisp foundation, approximately 10-12 minutes. Once achieved, remove and let the crust cool completely at room temperature.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, cream cheese, ranch seasoning, dill, and garlic salt. Whisk vigorously until the mixture achieves a silky, homogeneous texture with no visible lumps.
- Carefully spread the creamy mixture across the cooled crust, ensuring an even, edge-to-edge coverage. Create a uniform layer that will serve as the pizza’s flavor base.
- Artfully distribute the chopped vegetables – broccoli, radishes, onion, bell pepper, carrot, and celery – over the cream cheese layer. Aim for an aesthetically pleasing arrangement that provides a colorful vegetable mosaic.
- Refrigerate the assembled pizza for 1-2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify. This chilling period helps the cream cheese set and enhances the overall taste profile.
- Before serving, slice the chilled pizza into 16 symmetrical squares, creating perfect individual portions ready to be enjoyed.
