Stuffed bread is an easy appetizer for a party. Try my Mom’s Broccoli and Black Olive Stuffed Bread recipe!
A true staple at our family parties is a variety of stuffed breads. Pepperoni, Broccoli, Spinach, are just a few stuffed breads my Grandma and Mom make for an appetizer. I have not figured out the secret to making a delicious stuffed bread, but here is one of my Mom’s recipes. Enjoy!
Ingredients
Pizza dough (fresh from the grocery store)
2 cups chopped broccoli
1/4 cup diced white onion
1 clove minced fresh garlic
1 can black medium pitted olives, sliced
1 cup shredded mozzarella
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon garlic salt
Cooking Spray
Olive Oil
A small cup of milk (any kind)
Flour
Flour
large cookie sheet
pastry brush
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Drizzle olive oil in a medium skillet. Cook white onion and garlic over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add broccoli, season with salt, pepper, red pepper, and garlic salt. Cook broccoli until bright green (5-6 min). Allow to cool 2 minutes.
2. Spray a large cookie sheet with cooking spray. Use flour to coat your hands before handling the pizza dough – on a clean flour coated counter, roll the dough to a size that is big enough for your cookie sheet. Transfer the dough to the cookie sheet.
3. Place broccoli in the center of the dough. Top with olives and shredded cheese. Fold both sides of the dough up over the broccoli and press the edges together – you should have a dough-y log. Seal the ends of the dough together by folding the dough in together (as if you were wrapping a gift).
4. Carefully flip the bread over so that the seam is on the bottom. Use the pastry brush to paint the dough with the milk. Bake for 30 minutes – wetting the dough with the milk every 8-10 minutes.
5. Serve with your favorite marinara!
