Ingredients

  • 10 oz. frozen chopped broccoli
  • 2 tsp. olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 jars roasted red peppers
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh oregano
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 16 oz. frozen bread dough

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease 2 baking sheets.
  2. Cook broccoli according to package instructions. Drain well. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over low heat.
  3. Add minced garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Add cooked broccoli and cook, stirring, until moisture evaporates, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the broccoli mixture, shredded Mozzarella, grated Parmesan, chopped roasted red peppers, chopped fresh oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  5. Divide thawed bread dough into 8 equal pieces. Roll out each piece to a 6-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Spoon an equal amount of the broccoli mixture into the center of each dough circle.
  7. Fold each circle over the filling to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges with a fork to seal and prick a few holes in the top of each pocket.
  8. Place the pockets on the prepared baking sheets and bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
