Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

Step 3

Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. Stir constantly to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking continuously to combine with the roux. Keep whisking to ensure the mixture remains smooth.

Step 5

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce begins to thicken (around 3-5 minutes).

Step 6

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and optional red pepper flakes. Continue stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Remove the sauce from heat and let it cool for 5 minutes. It will thicken slightly as it cools.

Step 8

Spread the Parmesan White Pizza Sauce evenly over your prepared pizza dough before adding toppings of your choice.

Step 9

Bake pizza as directed by your crust recipe or package instructions.
