  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: Serves approximately 8 slices 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 clove garlic
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 pound artisan pizza dough
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 2 cups arugula
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

  1. Make the white sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add crushed garlic and cook until fragrant. Whisk in flour to form a roux, then gradually add milk while whisking until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Preheat your oven to 500°F and place your pizza stone inside.
  3. Prepare the dough by flattening it into a large disk on a floured surface.
  4. Spread the garlic béchamel over the dough, leaving an inch border. Top with half the mozzarella and parmesan.
  5. Bake for about 5 minutes, then broil for an additional 2-4 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  6. Toss arugula with olive oil and balsamic vinegar; top the baked pizza before slicing.
