Ingredients
Scale
Main Pizza Base:
- 2 cans (8 ounces/226 grams each) refrigerated crescent rolls
Cream Cheese Spread:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) sour cream
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh Vegetable Toppings:
- 1/2 cup (75 grams) fresh broccoli florets
- 1/3 cup (50 grams) quartered cucumber slices
- 1 plum tomato, seeded and chopped
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) shredded carrot
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, preparing a standard baking sheet for the pizza base.
- Carefully unfold the crescent roll dough across the baking sheet, gently pressing and sealing all the seams to create a uniform rectangular crust.
- Bake the crust for 13-17 minutes until it achieves a golden-brown color, then remove from oven and allow to cool completely for approximately 30 minutes.
- While the crust cools, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, dried dill, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl until the mixture becomes silky and well-integrated.
- Once the crust has reached room temperature, evenly spread the creamy herb mixture across the entire surface, ensuring complete and consistent coverage.
- Artfully arrange the fresh chopped vegetables across the cream cheese layer, creating a colorful and vibrant topping.
- Slice the pizza into 32 small squares, ready to serve immediately or refrigerate for 1-2 hours to enhance flavor melding and provide a chilled appetizer option.
Notes
- Customize the crust by using whole wheat or gluten-free crescent roll dough for different dietary needs.
- Ensure the crust is completely cool before spreading the cream cheese mixture to prevent sogginess and maintain a crisp base.
- Chop vegetables into small, uniform pieces for better texture and easier eating, allowing each bite to have a perfect mix of flavors.
- Experiment with different herb combinations like fresh basil, chives, or parsley to add extra depth and personalize the cream cheese spread.
