Note

For best results, ensure the dough is fully thawed before rolling to prevent tearing.

You can substitute the cream cheese with a vegan alternative if needed, though the original recipe tags mention vegan but include dairy cheeses. Adjust fillings accordingly for a true vegan version.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350ðF for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.

Feel free to customize the filling with other pizza toppings like mushrooms, onions, or olives.
