Smoked Salmon White Pizza
Smoked Salmon White Pizza is an easy, cheesy pizza perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner!
Ingredients
- 1 pkg pizza dough or homemade
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1¼ cups whole milk
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- salt and pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1⅓ cup shredded mozzarella
- 8 oz smoked salmon
- Red onion slices, for garnish
- Fresh arugula, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray or use a slipmat.
- Roll the pizza dough into a 9X13 rectangle. Partially bake the pizza crust for about seven minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
- Meanwhile, make the white sauce. In a medium sauce over medium heat melt the butter. Next, add the flour and begin to whisk. Keep whisking until a roux forms about a minute. Gradually pour in the milk, keep whisking. Turn the heat to a medium low and keep whisking until slightly thickened about four minutes.
- Stir in the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Keep whisking.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste again for seasoning.
- Next, take the sauce and spread it on top of the pizza crust leaving a one-inch border all the way around. Top the white sauce with shredded mozzarella and bake the pizza for about 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly before topping with smoked salmon, red onion slices and arugula. Enjoy!
