How to Make It

1. Step
In a large bowl, mix the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the mixture becomes cloudy and slightly foamy.
2. Step
Add the flour, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the bowl with the yeast mixture and stir until combined.
3. Step
Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 3-5 minutes.
4. Step
Wipe the large bowl clean and lightly coat with remaining oil. Place the dough into the bowl and cover with plastic wrap and a dish towel.
5. Step
Set in a warm place for 20 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
6. Step
Preheat oven to 450ºF (230ºC),and line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
7. Step
Once risen, turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and stretch the dough into a 12x22-inch (30x56 cm) rectangle.
8. Step
Layer the cheddar, broccoli, and chicken in the center of the rectangle, lengthwise, leaving 1-2 inches (2 ½-5 cm) on the top and bottom.
9. Step
Slice the dough in half through the center, lengthwise.
10. Step
Fold each piece’s center edge towards the outer edge and pat down, creating a long roll-up.
11. Step
Slice each roll into 4-5 equal pieces. Pinch the edges closed on all the pieces and place on sheet tray.
12. Step
Brush the tops with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
13. Step
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
14. Step
Serve immediately or allow to cool, then freeze in an airtight container up to 1-2 months.
15. Step
To reheat, microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute.
16. Step
Enjoy!
