Pizza night is a favorite in our house, and I love mixing it with different flavors. This White Pizza is an amazing alternative to your traditional pepperoni. It starts with my delicious creamy white pizza sauce, and is topped with cheeses. This pizza is a simple but delicious dinner. And if you love pizza but can’t do red sauce, this is the perfect alternative.
What is White Pizza?
Instead of using a tomato-based pizza sauce or fresh tomatoes, white pizza or pizza bianca is made with a creamy white garlic pizza sauce and topped with lots of white cheese. It can be enjoyed just like this or with toppings!
Homemade Pizza Dough
I recommend starting this pizza recipe with my homemade pizza dough. It makes enough for two pizzas and is simple to make with my detailed instructions and step-by-step photos. Two things are important with any roux. First, make sure to really whisk the flour into the butter. It will begin to cook a little, which gets rid of the flour taste. Second, add the liquids (both the milk and the heavy cream) very slowly so they have time to absorb into the roux and distribute evenly. This process only takes a minute or two, but is important to not rush.
Grating Cheese From a Block
Anytime a recipe calls for shredded cheese and you want it to melt well, I recommend grating it yourself from a block. Pre-shredded cheese is covered in preservatives which prevent it from clumping together in the bag. Grating it from a block only takes a few minutes and adds a creamy and flavorful layer to this pizza. If you make this white pizza recipe or any of my other recipes, let me know what you think by leaving a comment!
Add meat and vegetables. Italian sausage, green olives, mushrooms, and artichokes create a hearty and flavorful homemade pizza. Spinach Artichoke Pizza: Add some spinach to the white sauce and top with diced artichokes in this combination of pizza and spinach artichoke dip.
