Table of Contents

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups half and half or whole milk (you can add more if needed to adjust thickness)
½ teaspoon onion powder

Melt the butter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Cook the garlic:
- Once the butter has melted, add the pressed or grated garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently, until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned.
Make the roux:
- Add the all-purpose flour to the butter and garlic mixture, stirring continuously. Cook for about 1-2 minutes to form a roux. This will help thicken the sauce. Be careful not to let it brown.
Add the milk:
- Slowly pour in the half and half (or milk) while whisking continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Continue whisking until the sauce starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes. Add more milk if you prefer a thinner sauce.
Season the sauce:
- Stir in the onion powder, salt, and cracked black pepper. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Simmer and thicken:
- Let the sauce simmer for another 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. It should be thick and creamy, perfect for spreading over your pizza dough or drizzling over pasta.
Serve:
- Remove from heat and use immediately as a base for your white pizza, or allow it to cool slightly before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.

For extra flavor: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes, or mix in some freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a cheesy variation.

Consistency: If the sauce gets too thick, just add a little more milk to reach your desired consistency.
Herbs: You can also incorporate some fresh or dried herbs like basil or thyme for extra flavor.

Enjoy this creamy white pizza sauce! It’s perfect for making a rich, savory white pizza or serving as a delicious dip. 😋❤️
