White Garlic Pizza Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Melt Butter: In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat to create the base for the sauce.
- Sauté Garlic: Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic to maintain its delicate flavor.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Whisk in the all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, salt, and oregano thoroughly to combine and form a roux that will thicken the sauce.
- Incorporate Milk: Slowly pour in the milk while constantly whisking to prevent lumps, ensuring a smooth texture.
- Thicken Sauce: Continue whisking occasionally until the mixture thickens to your desired consistency, which usually takes a few minutes.
- Finish with Cheese: Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Use or Store: Use the sauce immediately on your pizza or cover and chill it for later use.
Notes
- Make sure to whisk continuously when adding milk to prevent lumps.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and smoothness.
- This sauce pairs well with white pizzas, chicken toppings, and vegetable pizzas.
- Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently on the stove or microwave to avoid curdling.
