2 cups vegetable broth or water

16 ounces broccoli florets, either pre-packaged or sliced from 2 large bunches of broccoli
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
10 twists of freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, omit if sensitive to spice

1/2 tablespoon butter or 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, pressed or minced
1 slice whole wheat bread (substitute gluten-free bread for a gluten-free casserole)
