Scale
- 12” pizza crust or 1/2 lb pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (plus more to taste)
- 1 pound broccoli, stems removed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475 degrees. If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli, cannellini beans, and salt. Cook for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the broccoli is tender. Remove from heat.
- Stretch the pizza dough into a 12-inch round and transfer to a greased baking sheet or an oiled pizza stone. (If the stone is preheated, remember to be careful!)
- Spread the broccoli and bean mixture evenly over the dough.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown.
- Finish with lemon zest and additional red pepper flakes if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
