Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Blender
- Oven
- Chef's Knife
- Cutting Board
- Mixing Bowl
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 2 cans refrigerated crescent dough
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 package ranch dressing powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets chopped small
- ½ cup carrots shredded
- ½ cup red bell pepper diced
- ½ cup yellow bell pepper diced
- 1 bunch fresh dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. This is crucial for achieving that golden brown crust that we all love. A well-preheated oven ensures even cooking and a perfectly baked base.
- Prepare a large baking sheet by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper. This step is important, as it prevents the pizza from sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
- Unroll the two cans of refrigerated crescent dough and press the dough into the prepared pan to form a crust. Be sure to pinch and press the seams together well to create a solid base. It's okay if it's not perfect; it will still taste fantastic!
- Once your crust is formed, bake it according to the package instructions until it turns golden brown. This usually takes about 10 to 12 minutes. After baking, allow the crust to cool before assembling your pizza.
- In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, ranch dressing powder, garlic powder, and fresh dill. Using an electric hand mixer, blend the mixture until it becomes smooth and creamy. This creamy topping will be the heart of your pizza.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust. Make sure to cover every inch to ensure every bite is delicious.
- Now, top your pizza with the broccoli florets, shredded carrots, red bell pepper, and yellow bell pepper. Feel free to get creative with your toppings; add your favorite vegetables or herbs!
- For best results, allow the pizza to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors meld together beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- When ready to serve, cut your pizza into squares or triangle shapes. Garnish with fresh dill for a pop of color and flavor. Enjoy your masterpiece with friends and family!
Notes
- Tip 1: If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge. They’re great as a quick snack or a simple meal the next day.
- Tip 2: You can freeze the assembled pizza before adding the toppings. Just wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and it can be stored for up to a month.
- Tip 3: Serve your pizza with a fresh garden salad or a side of roasted vegetables to create a balanced meal.
- Tip 4: Use gluten-free crescent dough or a cauliflower crust for a gluten-free alternative.
- Tip 5: Add a dash of red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of your favorite hot sauce for those who like a bit of heat.
