Makes one 14-inch (35 cm) roll
1. Preheat oven to 400˚F (200°C) with rack in the middle
of the oven. Lightly coat a baking sheet with
1 tablespoon (15 ml) of the oil and set aside.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a 10-inch (25cm) sauté pan
over medium heat until shimmering.
3. While the oil is heating, insert the chopping blade into
the work bowl of the food processor. With the unit
running, drop the garlic through feed tube to chop.
4. Add broccoli rabe to the skillet – it will look like a lot
but will shrink as it cooks. Season with salt and sauté
for about 7 to 8 minutes, or until just tender. Halfway
through cooking, stir in the garlic and red pepper
flakes. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool
slightly.
5. While the vegetables are cooking, put the pecorino
into the work bowl, still fitted with the chopping blade,
and process to finely grate. Put into a medium mixing
bowl with the ricotta, nutmeg, remaining salt and
pepper. Add to broccoli rabe and stir to completely
combine.
6. Punch down pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. With the tips of your fingers, gently
press out dough into a 14 x 8 inch (35.5 x 10.5 cm) rectangle, turning and stretching as
needed. Gently lift dough onto prepared baking sheet and reshape if necessary. If any tears
appear, pinch the dough back together.
7. Evenly spread the broccoli-cheese mixture all over the dough in a single layer, leaving a
1-inch (2.5 cm) border around the outside.
8. Brush the border of the dough with the egg wash. Starting with the long end farthest from
you, roll the dough into a log (like a jelly roll) to the center of the rectangle. Take the long
end closest to you and tightly pull it over the dough in the center to cover and complete
the roll. Pinch to seal all along the seam. Fold the ends of the dough in on each side and
pinch to seal. Roll the dough over so it is seam side down and arrange in the center of the
baking sheet. Brush all over with egg wash, and with a paring knife cut 3 evenly spaced slits
in the top.
9.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, rotating the pan halfway
through cooking. Remove and allow bread to rest 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
