Default White Brocolli Pizza Sunday

So I finally made this yesterday. Large one too. 16" diameter.

It's been a long time and I made this from memory except for the
pizza crust. It's the Betty Crocker crust recipe. You can look it
up. Basically, 2.5 cups flour (to start with). Yeast, salt,
sugar, oil... Once ready, I hand stretched it out to 16"diameter
to edge of pizza pan.

Note: I never prebake my pizza crust. I top it first and cook all
at once.

Toppings:

I smashed then minced 7 fresh garlic cloves. Slowly sauteed them
in about 1/3 cup of EVOO until they just started to brown then I
added in 16 ounces of frozen brocolli crowns (already thawed and
cut into bite size pieces). Brocolli was only in the pan for 30
seconds...just enough time to stir and toss to coat them with the
garlic oil.

Then brushed garlic EVOO on the raw pizza crust, added about 6 oz
of the mozzarella cheese, then all the broccoli, and finally a
sprinkle of the remaining 2oz mozz cheese over the top.

Baked in a 425F oven for about 22 minutes until all was slightly
browned. Your oven might be a bit different with the timing.
Start checking at 18 minutes.

Except for the lack of a strong EVOO taste, it turned out very
tasty.

Later, for a snack, I heated up a slice and added a bit of
crumbled feta cheese. That's a good addition.
