Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough: If you’re using store-bought dough, let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before rolling it out. If you’re making your own, prepare it according to your favorite recipe and let it rise until doubled in size.
  2. Step 2: Make the Garlic Sauce: In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Sprinkle in the flour, stirring constantly to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Step 3: Assemble the Pizza: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the garlic sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Step 4: Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the diced chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms, onion, artichoke hearts, and fresh spinach leaves. Finally, sprinkle the chopped basil and freshly grated parmesan cheese over the top.
  5. Step 5: Bake to Perfection: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t burn.
  6. Step 6: Slice and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Slice it up and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful flavors of your White Garlic Chicken and Vegetable Pizza!

Notes

  • Make the garlic sauce ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, reheating in the oven to maintain crispiness.
  • Freeze the unbaked pizza, wrapped tightly, and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
