Broccoli Flatbread Pizza Recipes

GRILLED BROCCOLI FLATBREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Heat a grill or grill pan to medium; clean and lightly oil hot grill. Brush broccoli halves with oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill, covered, until lightly charred and tender, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into florets, and discard stalks.
• Working in batches if necessary, grill naan until undersides begin to char, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and immediately top with mozzarella, broccoli, Parmesan, and red-pepper flakes if using. Season with salt and pepper, cover, and cook until cheese melts, 3 to 5 minutes. Top with basil and serve.

BROCCOLI AND TOMATO FLATBREAD PIZZAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Toss the broccoli with 3 tablespoons olive oil and the red pepper flakes on a rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Mix the tomatoes with the garlic in a small bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Roast the broccoli until it begins to turn brown, 16 to 18 minutes. Add the tomatoes to the baking sheet, then toss with the broccoli and roast until tender, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, divide the flatbreads between 2 baking sheets. Top with the mozzarella, leaving a 1-inch border, then top with the broccoli and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the olives and pepitas. Brush the edges of the breads with the remaining tablespoon olive oil.
• Bake until the mozzarella is melted and the flatbreads are very warm, about 8 minutes. Drizzle a little olive oil on the tops and sprinkle with more red pepper flakes if you like it spicy. Cut into wedges and serve.

• Cover each flatbread with 1/2 cup of mozzarella cheese and 1 tablespoon of parmesan cheese.

BROCCOLI, LEMON, AND GOUDA PIZZAS

Steps:

• Whisk yeast into 3/4 cup warm water (110°) in a medium bowl; let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Add both flours and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt; stir until a dough forms, then turn out onto a clean work surface. Knead, dusting with flour as needed, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
• Return to bowl and cover with plastic wrap; let stand 30 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator and let rise overnight until dough doubles in size (or let dough proof at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours).
• Preheat oven to 500°, with a pizza stone or upside-down baking sheet placed on a rack in the lower middle. Lightly dust work surface with flour; turn dough out. Divide in two and form each piece into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap; let stand 30 minutes to warm slightly and relax gluten. Meanwhile, toss broccoli with lemon slices and oil; season with salt and pepper.
• Starting in center of one ball of dough, use both hands to stretch outward, rotating occasionally. Gradually work toward edges, leaving a 1-inch border of undisturbed dough for the crust, until stretched to an approximately 9-inch round. Line either a pizza peel, a thin wooden cutting board, or another upside-down baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
• Transfer dough round to parchment-lined surface. Season dough with salt and pepper; drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with half of broccoli mixture. Top with half of Gouda and half of rosemary. With one quick forward-and-back jerking motion, slide pizza (with parchment) from peel onto stone in oven.
• Bake until crust is puffed and golden brown in places and set on bottom, and broccoli is cooked and charred in places, 13 to 15 minutes. Transfer pizza (with parchment) to a wire rack; let cool 5 minutes. Sprinkle with half of Parmigiano. Repeat with second dough ball and remaining ingredients.

SMOKED GOUDA AND BROCCOLI FLATBREADS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees and place a rack in the lower and upper third of the oven. In a large bowl, combine the Gouda, broccoli, scallions and oil. Season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine.
• Place the flatbread on two baking sheets, then top evenly with the cheese mixture. Roast, rotating pans halfway through, until the bread is crisp and the cheese is melted and browned in spots, 8 to 10 minutes.
