🧄 White Garlic Pizza Sauce
🧂 Ingredients:
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter
-
3 cloves garlic, minced (or more if you like it garlicky!)
-
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
-
1 cup whole milk (or half & half for richer flavor)
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
Optional: pinch of Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes
-
Optional: ¼ cup shredded mozzarella or provolone (for extra cheesiness)
👩🍳 Instructions:
-
Melt butter and sauté garlic:
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until fragrant — don’t brown it. -
Make a roux:
Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly, to remove the raw flour taste. -
Add milk:
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook until thickened — about 2–3 minutes. -
Add cheese & seasonings:
Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted.
Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs or red pepper flakes.
Add mozzarella/provolone if you want it thicker and gooier. -
Cool slightly before using:
Let it cool for a few minutes — it will thicken a bit more. Then spread it onto your pizza crust or use as a dipping sauce.
🍕 Perfect For:
-
White pizza with spinach, mushrooms, or chicken
-
Flatbreads or naan pizza
-
Dipping for garlic knots, breadsticks, or crust
-
Layering in calzones or cheesy stuffed breads
