Garlic Pizza Sauce Ingredients:
Main Ingredients:
- 1¼ cups (296 milliliters) whole milk
- ¼ cup (25 grams) freshly grated parmesan cheese
Thickening Agents:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
Seasonings:
- 3 teaspoons jarred minced garlic (or 3 cloves finely chopped)
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Garnish:
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chiffonade
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, creating a smooth, golden base for the garlic pizza sauce.
- Sprinkle flour into the melted butter, whisking vigorously to form a roux without allowing it to brown, developing a rich, nutty foundation.
- Stream milk into the mixture, continuing to whisk until the sauce transforms into a velvety, bubbling consistency, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Enhance the sauce with sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and finely minced garlic, stirring to distribute the aromatic seasonings evenly.
- Gently fold in parmesan cheese until it melts completely, creating a luxurious, creamy texture. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Crank the oven to 450°F, preparing for a crisp, golden pizza crust.
- Stretch pizza dough onto a prepared pan, using a pastry brush to coat the surface with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning for an extra flavor boost.
- Lavishly spread the garlic sauce across the dough, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Blanket the sauce with a generous layer of grated mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, creating a molten, cheesy landscape.
- Slide the pizza into the preheated oven, baking until the crust turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese bubbles and melts, approximately 10-12 minutes.
- Extract the pizza from the oven and crown it with a cascade of fresh basil leaves, adding a vibrant, aromatic finish.
- Slice into wedges and serve immediately, allowing the enticing aromas to tantalize your senses.
