Ingredients
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1 cup whole milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Melt the Butter 🧈
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until fully liquefied.
Sauté the Garlic 🧄
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
Whisk in the Flour 🌾
Sprinkle in the flour, pepper, salt, and oregano. Whisk continuously to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for about 1–2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.
Add the Milk Slowly 🥛
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking constantly. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth.
Finish with Cheese 🧀
Remove the pan from heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese until completely melted and the sauce is creamy.
Use or Store ❄️
Use immediately as a pizza base or allow to cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
