White Pizza Sauce Recipe

First look at the most traditional, if I may say so, universally applicable recipe.

Ingredients

butter – 50-60 g;
milk (fat) – 200 ml;
snow-white wheat flour - 2 tbsp. l. (without slide);
garlic – 3 cloves;
fresh basil – 5-10 leaves (to taste);
parmesan (any hard, fragrant cheese) – 80-100 g;
salt, pepper - to taste.

How to make snow-white pizza sauce, like in a pizzeria?

Clarification on “any option”
Cheese does not have to be used in the recipe, and even more so, it should not be Parmesan. Parmesan is simply very fragrant and with a corresponding, expressive cheese taste. You can replace this cheese with any other cheese, even processed cheese. But this is the last option.

So, let's look at how to create snow-white pizza sauce at home using a step-by-step recipe:

As always when making sauce, we recommend using a saucepan with a thick bottom and walls. It is necessary to melt the butter well in it. Just be careful not to let the oil burn.
While the oil is heating, prepare the garlic. It must be cleaned and then chopped using a knife, grater, or a special garlic press.
Add the prepared garlic to the melted butter in a saucepan, simmer everything together for about 1 minute over medium heat.
Now you need to add flour to the garlic butter and mix everything thoroughly with a whisk. The fire should be small for all this. It is necessary to mix very carefully. When the mass becomes so... homogeneous, you can move on to the next step.
Pour the milk into a saucepan in a narrow stream, stirring constantly with a whisk. Your task is to “brew” the sauce, to create it so that there are no lumps. It is necessary to stir until the mass becomes homogeneous and smooth. The fire is always small.
Wash the basil and dry well. Chop the greens.
Add chopped basil to the saucepan (you can, by the way, use dry), salt, pepper. Mix well.
The last step is to add cheese, if you are adding it. Add finely grated cheese to the sauce, stirring with a whisk. It is necessary that the cheese melts one hundred percent.
After the last step, keep the snow-white sauce on low heat for almost 2-3 minutes, stirring. Later remove from heat, cool and use as intended.

You see, white pizza sauce is quite easy to make. Especially if this is not your first time doing this. So don't be afraid to try cooking something new. Homemade sauce is 100 times tastier than store-bought. Do not deny yourself the pleasure of seeing this.

Individualities of making snow-white sauce for different types of pizza

Now that you already know how to prepare a “traditional” snow-white sauce, you can see individual cases of production. For a certain type of pizza, you may need to add a certain ingredient, or, on the contrary, not add it at all. But first things first.

For pizza with seafood

For this option, we recommend using the recipe described a little higher. The only thing is that basil doesn’t mix well with seafood – it’s better not to add it. For the rest... Well, you can add one finely chopped pickled cucumber to the finished cooled sauce. It will perfectly highlight the sea notes in pizza.

For Hawaiian pizza

Here, too, it is better not to use basil - although, of course, this is all a matter of taste. In this case, you can add a certain number of types of cheese, but so that the total weight is 100 g. And, naturally, it is better to give preference to varieties that melt well and have a rich cheese taste.

For pizza with mushrooms

Oh, well, for pizza with mushrooms, you can safely use mushroom sauce. This will help add flavor and aroma to the pizza. To do this, you just need to add a few finely chopped mushrooms to the traditional snow-white sauce. You can take champignons or dry wild mushrooms (they need to be soaked, boiled, and generally cooked in advance). To the recipe indicated above, add from 50 to 100 g of mushrooms. And yes, it’s probably better not to add basil in this case either.

For pizza 4 cheeses

In this case you just have to add cheese.
This will make the pizza the cheesiest. Add those varieties that perfectly express the taste and smell. In this case, you can add more than 100 g of cheese, for example, 150 g. The sauce will be the most viscous and viscous. If you are not a big fan of cheese taste, then it is not clear why you absolutely want to make cheese pizza.
So, with the snow-white sauce, everything seems to be clear. But, if you want to prepare some other, different option, be sure to look at the recipes for pizza sauces that we prepared for you earlier. They are very different, tasty and juicy. There, literally anyone will find something they like.

Secrets of making snow-white sauce for various types of pizza

The famous snack called “Pizza” has been known to the population of the earth since ancient times. At first, it was a flatbread that served as a plate, flavored with vegetables, meat, and olive oil. Nowadays, this dish is needed in all countries of the world, because by adding different sauces to the most ordinary interior, chefs have learned to create masterpieces of culinary art.

Varieties

Since the advent of pizza as a separate dish, it has gone through many steps of improvement: from the most ordinary cooking to food worthy of rulers. The combination of different entrails is emphasized by sauces, which give the dish a complete look, taste and smell.

INTERESTING. In the beginning, pizza was considered a food intended for the poor. It was fed to criminals imprisoned in prison.

Usually in Italy, reddish sauce is served with pizza in different interpretations. To create the most popular and varied dish, chefs invented new flavors, combining classic additives with additional ingredients. Considerable space on the tables is occupied by the snow-white traditional sauce, which is used to make Caesar pizza, the taste of which can be varied with herbs, garlic, mushrooms, spices, honey and mustard. Almost all seemingly incomparable products, when combined, give a great result.

White pizza sauce

Tomato sauce is considered common on pizza, but it has a tough rival. White sauce is also considered basic and is perfect for any type of Italian open pie. If its interior contains mushrooms or seafood, then a gentle sauce made from milk, cream and similar ingredients will be able to reveal its taste even better than a seasoning made from tomatoes. White pizza sauce has another advantage: there is never too much of it, which allows you to create a particularly juicy dish.

Individual manufacturing

White sauce is made for pizza from a variety of items. The basis can be broth, milk, cream. They can be supplemented with eggs, mustard, lemon juice, chopped vegetables and other ingredients. The development of making sauce from different recipes usually has a lot in common, but is not always similar. In order to avoid mistakes and get the expected result, you need to strictly follow the advice accompanying the chosen recipe. But there are several fundamental points that the cook will need to know, regardless of what recipe he is going to use to prepare the watery snow-white seasoning for the Italian pie.

To make the sauce thick and not drip from the flour base, it is thickened with flour. To do this, fry it in a dry frying pan or in butter, then, whisking with a whisk, add the main ingredient of the sauce in a narrow stream. If the liquid is not whisked when combined with flour, flour lumps will form, which will spoil the taste of not only the sauce, but also the entire pie. If the occurrence of flour lumps cannot be avoided, the sauce will have to be strained by passing through a sieve with small mesh before combining with other components or before adding it to cover the flour base.
Without using flour, the sauce can be thickened with eggs or cheese. Starch is usually not used for this purpose, because with prolonged heating, the seasoning thickened with it becomes watery and can begin to drain from the flour base.
If the sauce is covering dough that has not yet been baked, then the watery seasoning must be cooled to room temperature before doing this. Otherwise, the dough will steam and become soggy, which will have a bad effect on the organoleptic qualities of the finished dish.
To give the snow-white sauce the most striking taste and smell, you can add onions, garlic, pepper, mustard, and lemon juice. Spices and herbs are also used for this. When the sauce is made for pizza, dark ground pepper or a mixture of peppers, dried basil, oregano, and a mixture of Italian or Provençal herbs are most often added to it, because their use is typical of Italian cuisine.

Cook the sauce over low heat, stirring with a spatula, until it thickens sufficiently.

The finished sauce must be allowed to cool almost to room temperature, after which it can be used to cover the base of the pizza, put the filling on it, cover it with cheese and bake.

Garlic white sauce for Italian pie

This sauce can be used to cover both pizza crusts (previously baked at least until half-cooked) and the filling. It is better to consume this watery seasoning while it is fried before the cheese begins to harden, otherwise it will become very thick.

White sauce with yolk and lemon juice for pizza

wheat flour – 40 g;
butter – 40 g;
meat, vegetable or fish broth (depending on the inside of the pie) - 0.25 l;
yellowish egg - 1 pc.;
