Number Of Ingredients 12

1 dough ball (enough to make a 14" pizza)
1.5 cups shredded mozerella
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
chopped parsley for topping
flour and/or corn meal for stretching dough
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp flour
1 1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/8 tsp black pepper
2 cloves minced garlic
1/4 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

1 hour before baking your pizza. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. If you have a pizza stone, preheat stone in oven. While the oven is warming up, let pizza dough come to room temperature.
In a small saucepan, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add in 2 tbsp of flour and stir to combine for 30 seconds to a minute. Add milk slowly and make sure to whisk flour clumps out. Add the garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir well. Add parmesan cheese and stir until fully melted. Take off the heat and let rest until ready to use.
On a floured surface with flour and/or cornmeal, start to stretch out the dough into a 14" pizza circle. Transfer dough to a piece of parchment paper. Top with white sauce, mozzarella cheese, and dollops of ricotta. Sprinkle with a little more black pepper.
Bake for 10 minutes. Top with parsley and serve. Enjoy!
