Sauce & Toppings

Method

Preparation & Cooking

  1. 1

    Make the Béchamel Sauce

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes to form a roux.

  2. 2

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).

  3. 3

    Season the Sauce

    Stir in salt and nutmeg. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Pizza

    Preheat your oven according to the pizza dough instructions. Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Pizza

    Spread a generous amount of Béchamel sauce over the rolled-out pizza dough. Evenly distribute the artichoke hearts, diced red bell pepper, roasted garlic, and shredded mozzarella cheese on top.

  6. 6

    Bake the Pizza

    Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake according to the dough instructions, typically around 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve hot.
