| Please note that I also made a normal pizza as backup |
So recently I was trying to decide what to do with a big bag of broccoli that I had bought at Sams. And it happened to be Friday! So naturally I wondered if I could somehow incorporate broccoli into our pizza night and still have an enjoyable and delicious outcome. I thought a broccoli cheese soup theme pizza sounded good, but after hearing the dubious opinions of both Alex and Becky, my faith in the idea was greatly shaken. Not to be deterred in this mad quest though, I pressed onward and upward. And guess what... I loved it!!! Alex liked it, but I think somehow calling it pizza didn't set right with him. I'll have to rename it next time :). So... the Big Question: Is anyone else out there crazy enough to follow my example?? Just in case, here's the recipe.
Broccoli Cheese Non-Soup Pizza
(that needs a different name)
1/2 batch of Becky's Best Bread recipe (just make the whole batch though. You know you'll want some breadsticks or more pizza or... something with it!!)
2 Tbs butter
2 Tbs flour
Cheddar cheese (grated)
Milk
1 cup broccoli
Melt the butter, add in the flour and cook & stir a minute or two. Sploosh in enough milk to make a pretty thick sauce (I didn't measure!!) and cook till thick. Then throw in cheese till it tastes right. Very precise, right? While all that is going on, you can boil or steam your broccoli till it is tender. Smoosh out the pizza crust and spread on your cooled cheese sauce. Oh yeah, let your cheese sauce cool down a bit in there too, ok? OK! So spread it on there, leaving a wide crust, if desired. Sprinkle broccoli over it. Bake for your normal pizza baking time at your normal pizza baking temperature. Immediately upon removing it from the oven brush melted butter onto the crust and sprinkle garlic powder onto the butter. Slice and ENJOY!
What do y'all think? Is it really too weird?
