Broccoli Cheddar Pizza
Description
Broccoli Cheddar Pizza begins with a homemade or pre-made pizza dough stretched over a pan. The sauce is a blend of butter, cream cheese, milk, and dried herbs including basil and oregano, enriched with garlic and onion powders for depth. This sauce is spread evenly over the dough, providing a creamy, flavorful base. Chopped thawed broccoli florets add a fresh, slightly crisp texture and mild vegetable flavor. Shredded cheddar cheese tops the pizza, melting to a golden finish during 10-15 minutes of baking at 450ºF. The combination creates a hearty yet approachable pizza with a soft crust and balanced topping ingredients. The recipe notes that using a thin and crispy crust base, pre-baked briefly, can improve texture before assembly.
