Pizza Dough

Béchamel Sauce

Method

Make the Pizza Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

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

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  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.

Prepare the Béchamel Sauce

  1. 5

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

  2. 6

    Make Roux

    Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden and bubbly.

  3. 7

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

  4. 8

    Season Sauce

    Stir in the horseradish sauce, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

Assemble the Pizza

  1. 9

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 10

    Shape Dough

    Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and transfer it to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 11

    Add Sauce

    Spread the béchamel sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  4. 12

    Add Toppings

    Top with rock shrimp, crispy bacon, red onion, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

  5. 13

    Bake Pizza

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  6. 14

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped parsley, slice, and serve hot.
