Tips To Make The Best Crescent Roll Veggie Pizza
- Seams – When preparing the crescent roll dough on the pan to make the pizza dough, you want to focus on the seams of the dough. Make sure to really push and pinch the perforations together to get a good seal. This will ensure the pizza dough remains one big piece until cutting and serving.
- Pricking – Once the dough is on the baking pan with the seams closed, use a fork to prick the crescent roll dough all over. Doing so will prevent big air bubbles from forming as it bakes.
- Cooling – Allow the crescent roll dough to cool completely before topping it with the ranch seasoning cream cheese mixture. If not, the warm crescent roll will cause the mixture to become runny, leading to soggy pizza dough.
- Toppings – Be cautious of wet vegetables such as cucumbers and tomatoes when choosing toppings. I’d recommend using wet vegetables only if you plan to eat the pizza right away, as the moisture from them will eventually cause the pizza to turn soggy.
- Chill – Allow the veggie pizza to chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving. This time will allow the flavors to meld together and the ranch cream cheese mixture to firm back up to make for easier cutting and serving.
- Homemade Ranch – We love making this dish with our Homemade Ranch Seasoning, but you can use a packet mix too!
