Sauce Ingredients
- 2 tbsp butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1 cup milk
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Melt the butter: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter carefully until it is fully liquid but not browned.
- Cook the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 30 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt, enhancing the sauce’s aromatic qualities.
- Add flour and seasonings: Whisk in the all-purpose flour, ground black pepper, salt, and oregano until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. This step forms the base of the roux that will thicken the sauce.
- Incorporate the milk: Slowly pour the milk into the saucepan while whisking constantly to avoid any lumps, ensuring a smooth creamy texture.
- Thicken the sauce: Continue whisking occasionally as the sauce gently simmers until it thickens to your desired consistency, typically about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Finish with Parmesan cheese: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy, enriching the flavor with cheesy goodness.
- Use or store: Use the white garlic pizza sauce immediately on your pizza or cover and refrigerate for later use, ensuring to reheat gently before serving.
Notes
- This sauce can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a thicker sauce, cook it a little longer or add more flour.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
- This sauce also works well as a dipping sauce or a pasta sauce.
- Adjust garlic amount to taste for stronger or milder garlic flavor.
