Description

Bake for about 40 minutes, or until brown. Let cool slightly; then slice and serve.

Ingredients

  • ¾ pound broccoli (stems peeled)
  • salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 large garlic cloves (minced)
  • 4 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves (drained and chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped black olives (such as calamata)
  • ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • freshly ground pepper
  • ½ pound frozen bread dough (thawed and cut in half)
  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°. Cook the broccoli in boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Drain and chop.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, olives and red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli; season with salt and pepper.
  3. On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece of dough into a 12-by-9-inch rectangle. Spoon half of the broccoli mixture down one longer side of each rectangle, about 2 inches from the edge. Top each with half of the feta and Parmesan. Roll the dough up around the filling; fold in the sides.
  4. Bake for about 40 minutes, or until brown. Let cool slightly; then slice and serve.
