Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

    Mix Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the olive oil and the yeast mixture.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Mix until a dough forms. Transfer to a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth.

  4. 4

    Let Dough Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.

    Make Roux

    Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly until lightly golden.

  3. 7

    Add Milk and Cheese

    Gradually whisk in the whole milk until smooth. Cook until thickened, then stir in the grated Romano cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Pizza

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
