Instructions

Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease and sprinkle with cornmeal.

2. Prepare the White Garlic Sauce

  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
  • Add minced roasted garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in flour and cook for another 1 minute, stirring continuously.
  • Gradually whisk in skim milk and half-and-half, stirring until smooth.
  • Add black pepper and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens.
  • Remove from heat and mix in grated Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated.

3. Assemble the Pizza

  • Roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Evenly spread the white garlic sauce over the dough, leaving a small border.
  • Distribute the shredded chicken and diced red onion over the sauce.
  • Sprinkle with shredded Mozzarella cheese.

4. Bake the Pizza

  • Bake for 17 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

5. Garnish and Serve

  • Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to keep the crust crispy.
  • Variations:
    • Make it vegetarian by replacing chicken with spinach, mushrooms, or artichoke hearts.
    • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
    • Experiment with cheeses like Fontina, Gouda, or Provolone for a unique flavor.
