Broccoli Pizza Roll

So I asked Mike what he wanted for dinner the other night and of course he requested pizza yet again! Since I wanted to make something different I sought out a recipe that had the properties of a pizza without actually being a pizza. I found a recipe that I adapted slightly to make vegetarian and opted to use my bread machine to make pizza dough instead of making dough from scratch. I served this bread with marinara dipping sauce. I will without a doubt be making this recipe again probably with different variations of vegetables and cheese.



Filling (adapted from flamingobear)
  • 1 pound mushrooms, sliced
  • 6 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup roasted peppers, chopped
  • 6 garlic cloves, minced
  • sea salt
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup Parmesan
  • 1 cup Mozzarella
Dough
  • 1 medium bread machine pizza dough recipe (or make your own pizza dough if you prefer)
  1. If using bread machine dough start dough about 45 minutes before you begin cooking the filling.
  2. Cook onion in olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until onions turn translucent. Add broccoli florets and roasted peppers and saute, stirring constantly, just until broccoli changes color, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring often, until broccoli is tender-crisp.
  3. Grease a cookie sheet and preheat oven to 475°. Once dough is ready begin to roll out into an 18x16 inch rectangle.
  4. Sprinkle broccoli filling and cheeses evenly over dough and begin to roll up from the longer side jelly-roll style. Pinch the edge of the dough firmly to make a tight seam. Turn the dough so that the seam is underneath. Pinch the ends of the dough firmly together and tuck them under.
  5. Lift the roll with both hands at each end and place on greased sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 475°. Lower heat to 400° and bake for another 10 minutes. Rotate pan and bake for another 7-10 minutes or until the loaf is golden brown all over.
  6. Brush loaf with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
