(See picture if it's confusing.)In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, break up broccoli (you can chop it up smaller on a cutting board, but the mixer is capable of doing this if your broccoli is thawed-NOT FROZEN.) Add ham, cream cheese, shredded cheese, dehydrated onion, & salt & pepper to taste. Place filling in center of dough & pull ends of crescents up & over the filling, tucking underneath the braid so it is sealed shut. Sprinkle top of braid with parmesan cheese & bread crumbs.
