Ingredients

  • Cornmeal for dusting
  • 12 ounces Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough (recipe follows) or other prepared dough
  • 2 cups broccoli florets, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 2/3 cup prepared marinara sauce
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 1 cup grated part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped

Cooking Instructions

1. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat oven to 500°F or highest setting. Coat a 12 1/2-inch pizza pan with cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.

2. Prepare Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough, if using.

3. Place broccoli in a steamer basket over boiling water, cover and steam until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Rinse with cold water to stop cooking; drain well. Transfer to a medium bowl, add onion and 1 tablespoon oil; toss to coat.

4. Combine sauce, oregano and crushed red pepper.

5. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a 13-inch circle. Transfer to the prepared pan. Turn edges under to make a slight rim. Brush the rim with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil.

6. Spread the sauce over the crust, leaving a 1/2-inch border. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Scatter the broccoli mixture over the cheese. Sprinkle with olives.

7. Place the pizza pan on the heated pizza stone (or baking sheet) and bake the pizza until the bottom is crisp and golden, 10 to 14 minutes. Serve immediately.

    Broccoli, accented by black olives, makes a delicious--and extra healthful--pizza topping. As a variation, substitute Canadian bacon for the olives.
