Ingredients
  

  • Here’s what you need to make this delightful appetizer wreath:
  • 2 - tubes 8 ounces each
  • 1 - package 8 ounces
  • 1/2 - cup sour cream
  • 1 - teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/8 - teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1-1/2 - cups fresh broccoli florets, chopped
  • 1/2 - cup finely diced sweet red pepper
  • 1 - cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 - cup quartered black olives for added flavor
  • - Celery leaves for garnish

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  1. Start by removing the crescent dough from its packaging—don't unroll it just yet! Cut each tube into 8 even slices, creating a total of 16 pieces. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while you work. With a 14-inch pizza pan in hand, arrange those slices in a circle, overlapping slightly to create a wreath shape. Leave the center open, and imagine how delightful it’ll look once it’s baked!
Step 2: Bake the Dough
  1. Time to bring a little heat! Place your prepared pizza pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. You'll know it’s ready when it turns a lovely golden brown. Once baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer your crescent roll wreath to a serving platter and let it cool completely.
Step 3: Prepare the Filling
  1. Now, let's work on that delicious filling! In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Using a hand mixer, beat them until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add in the dried dill and onion powder, mixing until well combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Wreath
  1. Spread that creamy goodness evenly across the cooled crescent dough wreath. Now for the fun part—top your spread with the chopped broccoli, sweet red pepper, chopped celery, and black olives, if using. Don’t be shy; pile it up! Finally, finish with fresh celery leaves for that touch of green.

Notes

- Prep Ahead: You can prepare the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge, making assembly even quicker!
- Baking Time May Vary: Keep an eye on the dough as it bakes; ovens can differ slightly. Look for that golden hue!
- Mix Up the Veggies: Feel free to add or substitute with your family's favorite veggies like carrots or cherry tomatoes.
- Make it Colorful: Incorporate a variety of colors in your vegetables for a more visually stunning dish.
- Serve Warm or Cold: This wreath is great either way, so don’t worry if it cools before serving!
