I've been quite fond of cooking and would like to think I'm good at it. I may have not gone to culinary school but I've picked up a few tricks here and there along with the necessary life skills if you can call them that to make decent meals. As a student, I ventured away from my parents home and had to fend for myself as many do. With that came the responsibility of learning how to buy groceries on a budget and cook meals. This was an adventure but thanks to amazing housemates and my foodie partner-in-crime, I managed to get by.
Pizza was and still is one of my favourite foods and healthy might I add if done right. It's fairly easy to make and was had on several occasions.
Today I'm sharing my favourite white sauce veggie pizza recipe:
WHITE SAUCE SUMMER PIZZA
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
Pizza Dough
1/4 cup of olive oil
2 tbsp of honey
3-4 cup of flour
2 tbsp of sugar
1 cup of water
3-4 cup of flour
2 tbsp of sugar
1 cup of water
1 tbsp of salt
5 tsp of yeast
White Sauce
1/2 cup of ricotta cheese
Whipping cream
1 diced clove of garlic
Pinch of pink Himalayan salt
Pinch of black pepper
Toppings
1/2 cup of broccoli
1/4 cup of sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup of sliced peppers
1/3 cup of sliced tomato
Leaves of sweet basil
Instructions
Step 1 - Pizza
In a large bowl, mix ingredients together, cover with a sheet and then let rise for two hours.
Step 2 - White Sauce
In a medium-size bowl, slowly add whipping cream, one tablespoon at a time while whisking to the ricotta until you reach a smooth creamy consistency and resembles a sauce. Then add garlic, salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Once the dough is ready, roll it out into the desired shape.
Instead of flour, toss cornmeal onto a pizza stone so the dough doesn't stick.
With a fork, gently poke holes throughout and then spread the sauce over leaving an inch spacing from the ends. Add your veggie toppings and voila it's ready for the oven.
Step 4
Bake at 475 degrees F for 15 minutes or until the crust is lightly crisp and toppings are cooked.
I love topping my slices of pizza with spinach and then drizzling some balsamic vinegar over it. You should try it and share what you think!
