Ingredients
  

White Garlic Pizza Sauce
  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter (30g)
  • 4 cloves Fresh Garlic (12g) meticulously minced
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour (15g)
  • 1/2 cup Heavy Cream (120ml)
  • 1/2 cup Whole Milk (120ml)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (45g) finely grated
  • 1/2 tsp Coarse Cracked Black Pepper (2g)
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Green Parsley (4g) minced
  • 1/2 tsp Kosher Salt (3g)

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-bottomed saucepan Essential to prevent dairy from splitting.
  • 1 Silicone Whisk Ensures a lump-free, velvety texture.
  • 1 Microplane Best tool for finely grating the parmesan.

Method
 

Making the Sauce
  1. Place a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the unsalted butter and melt completely. Add minced garlic and sauté for 60 to 90 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
  2. Sprinkle the all-purpose flour evenly over the butter and garlic. Whisk vigorously for exactly 1 minute until the mixture forms a thick paste with a pale straw color.
  3. Slowly pour in the whole milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously. Increase heat to medium, bring to a gentle simmer, and whisk for 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce coats the back of a spoon.
  4. Remove the saucepan entirely from the heat. Stir in the finely grated parmesan cheese until melted. Fold in the coarse cracked black pepper, fresh green parsley, and salt. Transfer to a bowl.

Notes

Always use block parmesan and grate it yourself; pre-shredded cheese will make the sauce grainy.
Never boil the sauce after adding the cheese, or the dairy will separate.
