A delightful appetizer featuring a crispy crust topped with a savory blend of vegetables, bacon, and cheese.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Chop the bell pepper and onion coarsely using a food processor.
Avoid over-processing to maintain some texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped vegetables, diced tomatoes, bacon bits, dried basil, and garlic powder. Set aside.
Mix gently to evenly distribute the seasonings.
Grate the Swiss and Parmesan cheeses if not pre-grated.
Use freshly grated cheese for better melting.
Unroll the bread dough and press it into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, rolling the edges slightly to form a rim.
Ensure the dough is evenly spread to avoid uneven baking.
Spread the mayonnaise evenly over the dough.
Use a spatula for an even spread.
Top the dough with the vegetable mixture, spreading it evenly, and then sprinkle the grated cheeses on top.
Layer the toppings evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure even baking.
Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before cutting it into 24 squares.
Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.
