pizza dough 1 package
butter 2 tablespoons
garlic cloves 2
all-purpose flour 3 tablespoons
milk 1 cup
shredded mozzarella cheese 2 cups

Take note
Be careful not to overcook the prosciutto as it can become too crispy. Also, make sure to handle the pizza dough with care as it may tear if handled roughly.

1

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Dough

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up. On a lightly floured surface, roll out your pizza dough into a desired shape and thickness. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions for any necessary preparation.

2

Prepare the White Sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk, then season with salt, black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg. Continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

3

Spread the Sauce and Add Toppings

Take your prepared pizza dough and spread an even layer of the white sauce over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce. Tear 6 slices of prosciutto into smaller pieces and scatter them on top of the cheese. Feel free to add any additional toppings of your choice!

4

Bake and Serve

Carefully transfer your pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for around 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese bubbles. Once out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve your delicious homemade White Pizza with Prosciutto!
