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.

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

3

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.

4

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.

6

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!
