For The Crust
Preheat the oven to 375. Lightly oil a rimmed baking pan or line with parchment paper.
Lay the crescent dough on the pan, overlapping the sheets. Pinch and press the dough together to seal the seams to make one large sheet, folding any extra dough down around the edges.
Place the dough on the pan into the oven. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until lightly brown. Let the pan and dough cool completely to the touch before adding toppings.
For The Spread
In a medium sized bowl stir together softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust, leaving a thin space for a crust along the edge
For The Veggies & Toppings
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and shredded carrot across the cream cheese mixture.
Add the finely chopped broccoli and bell pepper evenly to the pizza. Top with green onions. Slice into rectangles and enjoy!

Notes
You can totally use a cream cheese that has already been flavored wih chives or other similar savory herb flavors. Depending on what flavor the cream cheese is will depend on if you need the extra seasonings mixed in, so taste and see!Premade ranch seasoning can also be used in place of the seasoning in this recipe.You can customize the vegetables to what y ou prefer, but try to avoid using many water vegetables like cucumbers. These can make the pizza soggy. See further up in the post for ideas of veggies that are delicious swaps and substitutes in this recipe.
