Ingredients
  

  • 1-16 oz precooked whole wheat pizza dough
  • 4 cups broccoli
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 sweet yellow onion
  • zest from 1/2 small lemon optional
  • 1 TSBP extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 TSP salt
  • 1/8 TSP pepper
  • All-purpose flour as needed

Instructions
 

  • Place pizza dough on a cutting board lightly dusted with flour, and allow it to rest.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat either a baking sheet or pizza pan with cooking spray.
  • Chop broccoli, and mince onion and garlic.
  • Warm 1/2 TBSP of the olive oil in a sauté pan. Add in onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add in broccoli, and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, roll the pizza dough in a log, then cut into 6 even pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circular shape, using flour as needed.
  • Mix the ricotta and mozzarella in a large bowl. Once done cooking, add in broccoli mixture. Sprinkle in salt, pepper and lemon zest. Toss well to combine.
  • Spoon the broccoli cheese mixture onto the center of each dough circle.
  • Criss-cross the edges of the dough, folding over one another to seal the pockets (There's no need for it to be perfect!). Place on pizza pan/baking sheet. Brush each crust with the remaining 1/2 TBSP of oil.
  • Cook for 15 minutes, or until pocket crusts are lightly browned.
