Time 25m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup cooked broccoli
1/3 cup chopped green onion
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/2 teaspoon basil
8 ounces refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Coat baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Mix everything but the crescent rolls in a medium bowl.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough. Mine usually comes in a rectangle that I have to break apart to make the crescent shapes. Don't do that! Leave it rectangular. If yours is different, just shape it into a rectangle.
  • Spread the broccoli mixture over the dough, leaving just 1/2 an inch free on one of the long sides.
  • Roll the dough up like a cinnamon roll starting with the long side you left empty. Pinch the dough together at the end to seal the seams. Place the seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake until golden, about 15 minutes.

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
  • Use Fresh Broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets give the bread a vibrant green color and a crisp texture. If you don't have fresh broccoli on hand, you can use frozen broccoli florets that have been thawed and drained.
  • Shred Your Own Cheese: Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives and preservatives. Shredding your own cheese ensures that you're using fresh, high-quality cheese.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough will make the bread tough. Mix the dough just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Let the Bread Rise in a Warm Place: A warm place will help the bread rise quickly and evenly. If you don't have a warm place, you can preheat your oven to the lowest temperature and then turn it off. Place the bread dough in the oven with the door closed to create a warm environment.
  • Bake the Bread Until Golden Brown: The bread is done baking when it's golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Broccoli cheese bread is a delicious and versatile bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for a quick and easy snack or as a side dish with your favorite soup or salad. With its cheesy, broccoli-filled interior and soft, fluffy texture, this bread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new bread recipe to try, give broccoli cheese bread a try. You won't be disappointed!
