Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

• Blanch the broccoli: Boil the florets in salted water for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Drain and set aside.

• Stir in the flour, yeast, salt, and chopped parsley. Mix until lump-free.

• Grease a pie dish with the remaining olive oil and pour in the mixture.

• Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella on top.

4. Bake

• Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and set.
