1

Prepare the Béchamel sauce

In a saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk until it forms a smooth paste. Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the sauce for 5 minutes, or until it thickens. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.

Prepare the pizza dough

Follow your favorite pizza dough recipe or use store-bought dough. Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness.

Spread the Béchamel sauce

Once the dough is ready, evenly spread the Béchamel sauce over the surface. Be generous with the sauce, as it will add a delightful creaminess to the pizza.

Add toppings

Get creative with your toppings! Some popular options include cooked chicken, mushrooms, bacon, spinach, or even a blend of cheeses. Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the Béchamel sauce.

5

Bake your pizza

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Carefully transfer the topped pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone, then place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust turns golden and the cheese is melty and bubbly.

Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Once your Béchamel sauce pizza is out of the oven, let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it up, serve it with a side salad or additional toppings of your choice, and savor every creamy, cheesy bite!
