Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons plain flour
- ¼ cup finely shredded Parmesan
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 pre-made or homemade pizza dough
- ½ cup garlic white sauce
- 8 ounces freshly grated low-moisture mozzarella
- ¼ cup extra Parmesan, shredded
- ½ teaspoon Italian herb mix
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, thinly sliced
Instructions
- Make the garlic sauce: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly whisk in milk. Cook until thickened and bubbling, 3–5 minutes. Stir in garlic, salt, and pepper. Add Parmesan and stir until melted. Set aside.
- Prep the dough: Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Roll out pizza dough and brush with olive oil. Sprinkle with herbs.
- Assemble the pizza: Spread garlic white sauce evenly over the dough. Add mozzarella and extra Parmesan.
- Bake: Place pizza on a hot pan or stone and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly with brown spots.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil over the top. Slice and enjoy while warm.
Notes
- Use low-moisture mozzarella for the best melt.
- Don’t brown the roux for the garlic white sauce to keep the flavors clean.
- Roll your dough thin for a crispier crust.
- A hot oven is crucial for a well-baked pizza.
- Consider using parchment paper or a pizza stone for even cooking.
- Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Rotisserie chicken can be added for a quick protein boost.
- Swap mozzarella for provolone or fontina for different flavors.
