Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 tbsp Unsalted Butter 56g
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour 30g
  • 1 cup Whole Milk 240ml
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream 120ml
  • 1/2 cup Freshly Grated Parmesan 45g
  • 3 cloves Fresh Garlic Pressed
  • 1 head Roasted Garlic Finely minced for topping
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano Flakes 2g
  • 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper 2g

Equipment

  • 1 Medium Saucepan For cooking the roux and sauce.
  • 1 Fine-Mesh Whisk Ensures a smooth, lump-free consistency.
  • 1 Pizza Stone Required for achieving charred dough bubbles.

Method
 

Prepare the Garlic
  1. Roast one head of garlic at 400°F (200°C) for 40 minutes until golden and soft.
  2. Squeeze cloves from the skin and finely mince into a paste for the topping.
Make the Sauce
  1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes until blonde.
  2. Slowly whisk in milk and cream. Add pressed raw garlic and parmesan. Simmer until the sauce is thick and opaque, coating the back of a spoon.
Assembly
  1. Spread the White Garlic Pizza Sauce on thin dough. Top with mozzarella, minced roasted garlic, oregano, and pepper.
  2. Bake at 500°F (260°C) on a pizza stone until the crust shows charred bubbles and cheese has toasted spots.

Notes

For the best visual results, use low-moisture mozzarella to get those distinct golden toasted spots.
Make the sauce ahead of time and chill to help it set properly on the dough.
