Recipe: Graveyard Veggie Pizza

Last week at work, I was part of a committee hosting our 4th quarter birthday celebration. We chose to have a Halloween themed birthday lunch and I was in charge of decorations and a graveyard veggie pizza!

I took my inspiration from A Taste of Home:

but in my version I doubled the recipe and added a lot more goodies! 

Graveyard Veggie Pizza

Crust

2 cups all purpose flour

2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

2/3 cup milk

1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil

Topping

3 cups cottage cheese

1 packet of ranch dressing mix

1/2 cup mayo

1/4 cup milk

2 cups shredded lettuce

2 cups shredded cheese 

1 cup chopped broccoli

1 cup chopped cauliflower

2 cans chopped ripe olives

1/3 cup shredded carrots

1/4 cup chopped red onion

3/4 cup chopped banana peppers 

1 can green chiles 

Tombstones

1 package cream cheese

4 teaspoons sour cream

10 - 15 crackers

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Crust

- combine flour, baking powder, and salt

- add milk and 1/4 cup oil, mix well

- shape into ball and knead 10ish times

- on a lightly floured surface, roll into a 15x10 rectangle 

-transfer into an ungreased pan.

-prick with a fork and brush with remaining oil

- bake at 425 for 14 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.

 (I noticed mine needed a little more time because I made it thicker)

- let cool completely before adding toppings

Topping

- combine cottage cheese, ranch dressing mix, mayo, and milk

- spread over crust 

- sprinkle with lettuce, cheese, broccoli, cauliflower, olives, carrots, onions, banana peppers, and green chiles

Tombstones

- beat cream cheese and sour cream until fluffy

- place mixture in a ziplock baggy

- cut a small hole in the corner of the bag or if you are fancy get out your cookie decorating tools

- decorate crackers 

Even though Halloween isn't my fave, I enjoyed whipping up the festive veggie pizza! I was nervous about making a homemade crust and bringing it to work after my first time of making it. Needless to say it was a huge hit and very delicious!
