What color sauce do you see? For years, I would have told you the image behind my eyes was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/new-york-style-pizza\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/new-york-style-pizza\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">New York-style pizza<\/a> with red sauce. Now I\u2019m not so sure. I fell in love with white pizza sauce when I became the chef at a pizza restaurant. We put a white pie with roasted garlic, bacon and kale on the menu. The pizza was so delectably rich and creamy, I ate it at least once a week.<\/p>\n<p>I also love how easy it is to make a white sauce. Red sauces can simmer for hours, but a white pizza sauce recipe can come together in only 15 minutes. You can whip up a batch while your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-pizza\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-pizza\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade pizza<\/a> dough rises! It also stores well, so you can make it ahead of time to prepare for pizza night or a build-your-own pizza party. The cheesy, garlicky sauce tastes fantastic on pizza, and it&#8217;s also delicious as an Alfredo dipping sauce for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-copycat-olive-garden-breadsticks\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-make-copycat-olive-garden-breadsticks\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">copycat Olive Garden breadsticks<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make White Pizza Sauce<\/h2>\n<p>The only tools you to make white pizza sauce are a saucepan and a whisk. Start by cooking minced garlic in butter. When it smells incredible, add all-purpose flour, and whisk until well combined. In a slow, steady stream, add half-and-half cream. Whisk constantly to break up any lumps of flour. The mixture will thicken as it simmers. Finally, remove the pan from the heat, and stir in shredded cheese.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients for White Pizza Sauce<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1944257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/White-Pizza-Sauce_FT23_271781_ST_1129_1.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Ingredients for White Pizza Sauce\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Butter and flour<\/strong>: The butter and flour combine to create a roux, a combination of fat and flour used to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-thicken-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/how-to-thicken-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">thicken sauce<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Garlic<\/strong>: If you like your pizza extra garlicky, feel free to mince a few extra cloves.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Half-and-half cream<\/strong>: You can use whole milk to make white sauce for pizza, but half-and-half cream creates a creamier, more decadent sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Parmesan cheese<\/strong>: There is a difference between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/parmigiano-reggiano-vs-parmesan\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/parmigiano-reggiano-vs-parmesan\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">Parmigiano-Reggiano vs. Parmesan<\/a>.

If needed, add a splash of milk.<\/p>\n<p>To freeze white pizza sauce, spoon it into a freezer-safe container. Place a layer of plastic wrap directly on top of the sauce.

It creates a cheesy white sauce similar to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-alfredo-sauce\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-alfredo-sauce\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">homemade Alfredo sauce<\/a>. However, there is no universal white sauce for pizza, so white pizza sauce recipes can vary. Some white pizzas use an olive oil or flavored oil as the base, while others use creamy cheese such as ricotta or mascarpone. I\u2019ve also made white pizza with pure heavy cream as the sauce.<\/p>\n<h3>How do you fix a lumpy white pizza sauce?<\/h3>\n<p>If your white pizza sauce becomes lumpy, use a blender or an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-immersion-blender\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-immersion-blender\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">immersion blende<\/a>r to smooth out the lumps. A cheese sauce can become grainy or lumpy if it gets too hot. An immersion blender is handy when you don\u2019t want to create additional dishes: You can whiz the sauce directly in the saucepan.<\/p>\n<h3>How much sauce do you use per pizza?<\/h3>\n<p>We recommend using about 1\/2 cup white pizza sauce for a 12-inch pizza. Avoid using too much sauce on pizza. It makes the crust soggy, and it can cause the toppings to slide off when you pick up a slice. Spread the sauce onto the pizza dough using a rubber spatula or the back of a large spoon. The sauce will spread out as the pizza bakes, so don\u2019t worry about covering every inch.<\/p>\n<h3>What pizza toppings are best with white sauce?<\/h3>\n<p>Use any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pizza-toppings\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/collection\/best-pizza-toppings\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">pizza toppings<\/a> you would use for a red sauce pizza. Mozzarella, Parmesan or ricotta are great cheese choices. Regarding meat and vegetables, have fun and experiment! We love chicken, crispy bacon, pancetta, artichokes, roasted garlic, mushrooms and spinach on white pizza.
