White Pizza Sauce Recipe (Quick & Easy)
Description
The sauce begins by melting unsalted butter in a saucepan and whisking in flour to form a roux without browning it. Milk is gradually added while whisking to create a smooth, thickened mixture. Seasoning with sea salt, black pepper, and freshly pressed garlic builds gentle savory notes. Finally, Parmesan cheese is incorporated until just melted, giving the sauce a creamy texture and delicate umami taste.
Attention is paid not to boil the sauce after cheese addition to prevent curdling. Once prepared, the sauce is cooled and stored refrigerated, suitable to make ahead and use within five days. The recipe yields about 1.5 cups, approximately enough for four 10-inch pizzas.
This white sauce provides a quick way to add a rich but mild topping that pairs well with cheeses and various pizza ingredients without overpowering them.

- 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
