Health and fertility benefits of Broccoli-Bacon Skillet Pizza Recipe | MyRecipes

Broccoli is one of the non-starchy vegetables that has a very low glycemic index (GI), which is beneficial for reducing blood sugar levels. Broccoli is also a source of DIM (Diindolymethane). Diindolymethane is very effective in reducing the testosterone levels in the body, an action that would automatically curb male dominant features and regulate the estrogen levels in the system.

Ingredients

10 ounce refrigerated whole-grain pizza dough
1 (12-ounce) package microwave-in-bag fresh broccoli florets
4 center-cut bacon slices, chopped
2/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)
1 garlic clove, grated
1 tablespoon canola oil

Instructions

Place dough on counter at room temperature; cover to prevent drying.
Preheat broiler to high.
Microwave broccoli according to package directions. Carefully open bag; cool slightly. Halve or quarter larger florets.
Cook bacon in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat 6 minutes or until crisp; remove from pan with a slotted spoon. Add broccoli to drippings in pan; toss well to coat. Remove broccoli from pan.
Place cheeses and garlic in a bowl; stir to combine (mixture will be thick).
Heat pan over medium-high heat. Roll dough into a 10 1/2-inch circle. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Remove pan from heat. Fit dough into pan, pressing slightly up sides of pan. Spread cheese mixture evenly over dough. Return pan to medium-high heat; cook 2 minutes or until browned on bottom. Place pan in oven; broil 2 minutes or until cheese is lightly browned. Top pizza with broccoli mixture; broil 1 minute. Remove pan from oven; sprinkle bacon over top. Cut into 8 wedges.
