Garden
Fresh Pizza Squares
- 1 (8-ounce) tube refrigerated
crescent dinner roll dough
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup (3-ounces) freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons ranch dressing
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce or ground black pepper, to taste
1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1 cup coarsely chopped red, yellow or green pepper
1 cup very small broccoli florets
1/2 cup thinly sliced carrots
Salt
- Preheat the oven to 375°F
(190°C).
- Unroll crescent dough
onto a nonstick cookie sheet. Pinch perforations together and
press out dough to fit a 12 x 9-inch cookie sheet. Pinch 1/4-inch
of dough around all edges of the sheet to form a rim.
- Bake 12 to 14 minutes
or until golden brown. Keep crust on cookie sheet and transfer
to a wire cooling rack. Cool completely.
- Combine cream cheese,
Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing and desired amounts of hot sauce
or pepper. Spread mixture over cooled crust.
- Form one straight row
of cherry tomatoes, one row of peppers, one row of broccoli and
one row of carrots over the cheese to resemble a garden. Press
vegetables in firmly. If desired, sprinkle pizza lightly with
salt. Cut into 3-inch squares. Serve immediately or cover and
chill for up to three days.
Makes 12 servings.
