Yield:

2 loaves

Ingredients

¾ pound broccoli (stems peeled)
Salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large garlic cloves (minced)
4 oil-packed sun-dried tomato halves (drained and chopped)
2 tablespoons chopped black olives (such as Calamata)
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Freshly ground pepper
½ pound frozen bread dough (thawed and cut in half)
½ cup crumbled feta cheese
¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°. Cook the broccoli in boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Drain and chop.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook over moderate heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, olives and red pepper and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli; season with salt and pepper.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll each piece of dough into a 12-by-9-inch rectangle. Spoon half of the broccoli mixture down one longer side of each rectangle, about 2 inches from the edge. Top each with half of the feta and Parmesan. Roll the dough up around the filling; fold in the sides.
Bake for about 40 minutes, or until brown. Let cool slightly; then slice and serve.

Notes

For a heartier dish, roll pepperoni slices into the dough.
