Instructions

1. Bake the Crust:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll both crescent dough sheets onto a 15×10-inch baking sheet, pressing the seams to seal.
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely on the sheet (this will take at least 30 minutes).

2. Mix the Ranch Spread:

In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ranch mix (or DIY seasonings) until smooth and lump-free.

3. Assemble the Pizza:

Spread the ranch mixture evenly over the cooled crust, edge to edge.
Distribute the chopped vegetables evenly on top, pressing gently to adhere.

4. Chill & Serve:

Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Once chilled, cut the pizza into 24 squares using a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
Serve cold.

Notes

DIY Ranch: Skip the packet by whisking 1 tsp dill, 1 tsp seasoned salt, and ½ tsp garlic powder into your spread.

Make-Ahead: You can assemble through step 4 up to 8 hours before serving. Just add the veggies and chill closer to serving time.

Veggie Variations: Swap in finely diced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or sliced olives for added variety.

Storage: Store covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours, though the crust may soften over time.
