About 12 x 16 or so. Then spread chopped broccoli on dough - but leave edges clear. Then place cheese on overlapping slightly until dough is covered - edges clear Then space sliced pepperoni on about 1-2 inches apart. Roll up starting at the shorter edge. Tuck ends underneath and seal seams as best you can. Put on stone or slightly greased cookie sheet or shallow pan and bake at 350 for about 25 -30 min or until golden color appears. If you want to get fancy you can spread some course corn meal on the pan for the bread to cook on. If you want to get really fancy you can brush on an egg wash over the bread. egg wash = egg beaten and 1 T water and sprinkle on some seseme seeds.
