Pizza Dough

Mornay Sauce

Method

Prepare Pizza Dough

  1. 1

    Activate Yeast

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

  2. 2

    Make Dough

    In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a rough dough forms.

  3. 3

    Knead Dough

    Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Make Mornay Sauce

  1. 4

    Melt Butter

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.

  2. 5

    Add Flour

    Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

  3. 6

    Add Milk

    Gradually whisk in the milk and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until thickened, about 5 minutes.

  4. 7

    Add Cheese and Seasoning

    Stir in Gruyere cheese, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper until the cheese is melted and smooth.

Assemble Pizza

  1. 8

    Preheat Oven

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

  2. 9

    Shape Dough

    Punch down the risen dough and roll it out to fit a pizza stone or baking sheet.

  3. 10

    Add Sauce and Toppings

    Spread the Mornay sauce evenly over the base. Top with shredded turkey, diced tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped green onions, and shredded mozzarella.

  4. 11

    Bake Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
