Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Prepare the Dough. If you’re using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions. If you’re making your dough from scratch, combine flour, water, yeast, and salt in a mixing bowl. Knead until smooth and let it rise for about an hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Step 2: Preheat the Oven. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). This high temperature will help you achieve a crispy crust.
  3. Step 3: Make the Garlic Sauce. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour, cooking for another minute to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. Step 4: Roll Out the Dough. On a floured surface, roll out your dough into a large circle or rectangle, about ¼ inch thick. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  5. Step 5: Assemble the Pizza. Spread the creamy garlic sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the diced chicken, tomatoes, mushrooms, red or green onion, artichoke hearts, and fresh spinach leaves. Top with freshly grated parmesan cheese and chopped basil.
  6. Step 6: Bake the Pizza. Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
  7. Step 7: Slice and Serve. Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice it into wedges and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious White Garlic Chicken and Vegetable Pizza!
