1 Pizza Dough, thawed
1 lb Broccoli Crowns
1 tsp Lemon Juice
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
8 oz Mozzarella, cut into slices
Cornmeal or Olive Oil
Pepper
Red Pepper flakes
Sea Salt
¼ tsp Lemon Zest
Cut broccoli into large chunks. Pour a 1-inch puddle of salted water into a large sauté pan and bring to a boil. Add broccoli and cover with a lid and boil/steam for 2 minutes. Rinse under cold water to stop cooking, drain well and pat dry with a tea towel, wringing out as much extra liquid as possible. Chop into small (roughly 1/2- to 1-inch) bits and toss broccoli with lemon zest, lemon juice, sea salt and red pepper flakes, to taste.
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F.
Coat a baking sheet or pizza pan with a thin layer of olive oil or a dusting of cornmeal. On a clean working surface dusted with flour, gently stretch pizza dough to fit your pan, a 12" circle or 10" x 6" rectangle will do. Gently place dough in pan.
Layer on mozzarella, leaving a border crust. Top with broccoli and season with a pinch of sea salt. Place in oven and bake 8-10 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and crust is golden. Remove from oven and drizzle with olive oil.
