White Pizza Sauce
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (14.13 grams)
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour (3.75 grams)
- 3/4 cup whole milk (177.44 ml)
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (59.15 ml)
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated will work best
- salt and pepper to taste
White Pizza
- pizza dough
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese (226 grams) shredded
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (25 grams) shredded
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are baking on a pizza stone, preheat the stone with the oven.
White Pizza Sauce
Melt the butter over medium heat in a medium-sized skillet.
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Add in the garlic and sauté until just soft. Then whisk in the flour.
3 garlic cloves, 1/2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Turn the heat to medium-low and very slowly (starting with just a tablespoon or 2 at a time), whisk in the whole milk and then the heavy cream. The more you add, the more quickly you can add it.
3/4 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup heavy cream
Bring to a simmer and stir in 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until it melts. Season with salt and pepper to taste (I used about 3/4 kosher salt and 1/8 freshly ground black pepper).
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
White Pizza
Pour the sauce over the rolled-out pizza crust. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, pizza dough, 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
