Recipe information

Make Pizza Broccolino in just 1h 30m. A unique pizza topped with fresh broccoli.

Dough Preparation

1. Activate Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the water and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2. Mix Dough Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

3. Knead Dough

Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.

4. Let Dough Rise

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Topping Preparation

5. Prepare Broccoli

While the dough is rising, bring a small pot of water to a boil and blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

6. Prepare Sauce

In a small bowl, combine the tomato sauce, oregano, basil, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Assembly and Baking

7. Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

8. Shape Dough

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired pizza shape.

9. Add Sauce and Cheese

Spread the prepared tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

10. Add Broccoli and Seasoning

Distribute the blanched broccoli florets over the cheese. Drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the top.

11. Bake Pizza

Transfer the pizza to a baking sheet or pizza stone and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

12. Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve hot.
