Garlic Sauce for a white pizza.

Directions on how to make Garlic Sauce for a white pizza.

If you know any lacto-vegetarians or vegans, this is a recipe that both can enjoy. Even meat eaters will enjoy this incredible garlic sauce. Variation for both dairy and non-dairy garlic sauce. This sauce can be used in making a white pizza, which usually includes adding some cooked onion, spinach and cheese. If you would like to make a white pizza and use the garlic sauce recipe but don't want to use dairy cheese, you can use soy or rice cheese instead. Whole Foods carries a vegan mozzarella cheese, already grated. If you are making this pizza for lacto-vegetarians or meat eaters and they would like diary cheese on top, you can use some mozzarella and provel. Eight ounces of mozzarella or one package. Four ounces of provel or 1/2 package. You can also add chopped basil and parsley leaves to the top of your pizza.


Vegan recipe for Garlic Sauce

Ingredients:

1 cup soy milk
2 tbsp of unsalted vegan butter
2 tbsp of all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp & extra pinch of salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
3-4 heads roasted garlic, per pizza
4 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher Salt (ground salt can be used in place of kosher)
Freshly ground black pepper

How to make roasted garlic:

Ingredients:

Take heads of garlic, remove upper quarter
4 teaspoons olive oil
Kosher Salt (ground salt can be used in place of kosher)
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions:

Based on your oven, oven time and temperature may vary.
I set my oven to 375 degrees F and cook the garlic for 45 minutes, covered in foil.

Place the garlic on foil on a baking sheet or placing in a cake tin works well too. Rub the olive oil on top of each head of garlic. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, place cut side down, on the foil on the baking sheet (or cake tin). Pull over the foil so all of the garlic is completely covered.

Bake until the cloves are soft and golden, which takes 45 minutes for me. If you like you can reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F and cook for one hour.

Remove from oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Carefully remove each clove of garlic from the head. Squeeze each head of garlic to expel any cloves you can not remove individually. Set aside until needed.

Directions for sauce:

Gently heat soy milk in a small saucepan, just until barely simmering. Remove and keep covered.

In a separate saucepan, melt vegan butter. When foam subsides, add flour and stir until smooth. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring. Do not allow the flour to color. Gradually add the warm soy milk, whisking to combine. Add the salt and cayenne, increase the heat to medium. Cook the mixture, whisking continuously until the sauce comes to a boil and is thickened. Remove from the head and add the roasted garlic cloves. Pour the mixture into a blender/food processor or use a hand mixer to blend. Cover tightly if in blender or food processor. Blend until smooth. Set aside.

When ready to put sauce on pizza. Spread entire amount of sauce over pizza dough. Then add veggies and cook.

I use store made pizza dough (like Pillsbury Pizza Crust), but you can also make your own home made pizza dough.

If you just place cheese on top of your pizza (like soy or rice cheese), bake for 9 to 13 minutes.
Otherwise bake pizza for 13 to 17 minutes, or until crust is deep golden brown for pizza with veggie toppings.
Remove from oven and let rest for at least five to ten minutes.
Slice and Enjoy.
