• 1 pkg pizza dough or homemade
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/4 cups whole milk

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or use a slipmat.

   Roll the pizza dough into a 9X13 rectangle. Partially bake the pizza crust for about seven minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.

   Meanwhile, make the white sauce. In a medium sauce over medium heat melt the butter. Next, add the flour and begin to whisk. Keep whisking until a roux forms about a minute. Gradually pour in the milk, keep whisking. Turn the heat to a medium low and keep whisking until slightly thickened about four minutes.

   Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Keep whisking.

5. 5

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste again for seasoning.

   Next, take the sauce and spread it on top of the pizza crust leaving a one-inch border all the way around. Top the white sauce with shredded mozzarella and bake the pizza for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
