White Garlic Pizza Sauce Recipe
Description
The White Garlic Pizza Sauce Recipe blends butter and finely minced garlic cooked briefly to mellow the garlic's pungency. The addition of flour creates a roux base that thickens the sauce once milk is whisked in, avoiding browning to keep the sauce light. Parmesan cheese adds a savory, salty element enhancing the creamy texture. Salt and black pepper season the sauce to taste. The sauce is spread on pizza dough before baking, providing a creamy, flavorful layer under chosen toppings. The method ensures a smooth sauce ideal for evenly coating dough. This sauce suits pizzas where a buttery, garlicky flavor is preferred over tomato.
The preparation focuses on gentle cooking and constant stirring to avoid lumps or browning, maintaining a velvety and light sauce suitable for baking on pizza. It can be spread thinly to allow crispy edges on the crust, or more thickly for a creamier bite. The Parmesan melted in the sauce contributes both flavor and a slight thickness.
Serving this sauce as a pizza base works well to balance toppings with robust textures or spicy elements. It pairs well with vegetables, chicken, or milder cheeses. The garlic quality impacts overall flavor, so fresh garlic is recommended.
For an extra smooth texture, grating garlic finely with a microplane is suggested. The sauce can be prepared shortly before assembling the pizza and used immediately for best flavor and texture.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic finely minced
