Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 2 cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

Cream Cheese Spread

  • 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

Vegetable Toppings

  • 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 Toppings

  • 1/4 cup black olives (sliced)
  • 2 tablespoons capers
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, or cilantro)
  • 1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes (for a spicy kick)


Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper. Roll out the crescent dough and press the seams together to create a smooth, even layer on the baking sheet.
  2. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust for 10–12 minutes, or until golden brown. Once baked, allow the crust to cool completely before proceeding to the next step.
  3. Make the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, garlic powder, dried dill or Italian seasoning, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Blend the Spread: Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste for a balanced flavor.
  5. Prepare the Vegetables: Wash and dry all vegetables thoroughly. Dice, chop, or shred the vegetables into small, uniform pieces to ensure every bite is flavorful and colorful.
  6. Assemble the Pizza: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edges for a clean presentation.
  7. Add the Vegetable Toppings: Arrange the prepared vegetables in a single, even layer on top of the cream cheese spread. Customize with optional toppings like black olives, capers, shredded cheese, fresh herbs, or red chili flakes to your preference.
  8. Chill and Serve: For best results, chill the assembled pizza in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the crust to firm up.

Notes

  • Make sure to let the crescent roll crust cool completely before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent melting.
  • Vegetables can be swapped or added according to preference or seasonal availability.
  • For a spicier option, sprinkle red chili flakes or add jalapeños among the toppings.
  • This pizza is best served chilled but can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the pizza into squares or triangles for easy serving and sharing.
