White Sauce

2 tbs Unsalted butter

2 tbs 00 bread flour

1 1/2 cups whole milk

2 tsp Garlic (minced)

1/2 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 cups grated Grana Padano cheese

Mushroom Topping

2 cups cremini mushrooms (sliced)

1 tbs olive oil

1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Assembly

1 piece pizza dough (12-inch round)

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cups grated Grana Padano cheese

1 cups fresh arugula

1 tsp Truffle oil

Method

White Sauce

Make the roux

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes until the mixture is bubbling but not browned.

Add milk and seasonings

Slowly whisk in the milk, ensuring no lumps form. Add minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook, whisking, until the sauce thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

Incorporate cheese

Remove from heat and stir in the grated Grana Padano cheese until fully melted and smooth. Set aside.

Mushroom Topping

Sauté mushrooms

In a skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add sliced cremini mushrooms. Season with salt and pepper. Sauté for 5–7 minutes until mushrooms are browned and moisture has evaporated. Set aside.

Assembly

Preheat oven

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Prepare the dough

On a floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer to a sheet of parchment paper.

Assemble the pizza

Spread a thin layer of the prepared white sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce. Distribute the sautéed mushrooms on top. Sprinkle additional Grana Padano cheese over the mushrooms.

Bake the pizza

Carefully transfer the pizza on the parchment paper to the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Finish and serve

Remove the pizza from the oven. Immediately top with fresh arugula and drizzle with truffle oil. Slice and serve warm.
