Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prep the Broccoli: Steam fresh broccoli until tender, about 5-7 minutes, and chop it into small pieces. Allow to cool before using.

  3. Spread Base: Spread cream cheese evenly over the dough, covering edges fully.
  4. Add Fillings: Sprinkle chopped broccoli and shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Roll Up: Tightly roll the dough into a log shape, ensuring an even roll.
