I want to make a broccoli pizza, but I'm not sure what ingredients to use with the broccoli?!
-Combine chopped steamed broccoli, ricotta cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, minced fresh garlic,and a hand full of parm cheese (all of this can be eye-balled to the size of your pizza).
-Bake pizza crust at 400 degrees until just turning brown (very lightly browned).
-Remove from oven and spread with broccoli and cheese mixture. Top with grated mozzarella cheese and a drizzle of olive oil (I sometimes put a few tomato slices on top).
-Bake until crust is browned and cheese is bubbling.
-Enjoy!

Step by Step Procedure
--------------------------------------...
Dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in sugar. Combine flours and salt,and gradually add the dissolved yeast and 1/4 cup of the oil. Knead until the texture is smooth. Put in a large bowl, cover with plasticwrap, and let rise until triple in bulk (2-3 hours). Meanwhile, prepare the fillings. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil in a saute pan, add 2 Tbs garlic, and cook for 30 seconds (without browning.) Stir in the tomato sauce and paste, simmer until thickened. Stir in basil and oregano, set aside to cool.
Head 2 Tbs of the oil and saute the mushrooms until lightly browned and the liquid is evaporated. Season to taste, and set aside to cool. Remove and discard the casings from sausage, crumble and add the sausage to the pan along with fennel. Cook thoroughly, remove and cool. Heat the butter and 2 Tbs of the oil; at 1 Tbs of garlic and stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli until coated well and any liquid is evaporated. Season to taste; set aside.
Fresh basil
Sun dried or sliced fresh tomatoes
Parmesan cheese
Sliced red or yellow sweet peppers
You can make an interesting variation by using cream instead of tomato sauce as a base, then sprinkle a mix of mozzarella and swiss/emmenthal cheese, then put on the broccoli--this is a "white pizza."
