Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Gradually whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour, stirring continuously for about 1 minute until smooth. Slowly pour in 1 cup of whole milk while whisking, allowing the mixture to thicken for 3–4 minutes. Stir in sea salt, black pepper, and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, then set the sauce aside to cool slightly.
  2. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Prepare a pizza stone or a baking sheet for receiving the pizza.
  3. Stretch your pizza dough onto a pizza pan or baking sheet, brush lightly with olive oil, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Spread a generous layer of garlic pizza sauce over the dough.
  4. Sprinkle a generous amount of low moisture mozzarella cheese over the garlic sauce, covering the entire surface. Finish with an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
  5. Slide the prepared pizza into your preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
  6. Let the pizza cool for a minute before garnishing it with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, don't skimp on cheese and keep an eye on the pizza while it bakes to avoid overcooking.
