Servings 1 pizza

Ingredients
  

White Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • ½ cup + 1 tablespoon milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

  • Italian sausage
  • ¼ cup frozen corn kernels
  • Green chile or green chile salsa
  • Mozzarella cheese

Instructions
 

  • Prepare your pizza dough, starting the day before or the morning of your pizza bake, if possible.
  • With your dough resting on the counter at room temperature, start making the white sauce.
  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Add the flour and stir to incorporate. Slowly add the milk and bring to a boil to thicken. Add the garlic and parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese melts. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed.
  • Remove the sausage from the casing and brown, or make homemade Italian Turkey Sausage. You’ll have extra, freeze if for another day.
  • Heat the frozen corn kernels in a microwave.
  • To build the pizza, stretch the dough into a 12-14 inch circle. Spread with white sauce, then top with green chile, corn, and sausage. Sprinkle a small amount of freshly grated mozzarella cheese on top. Bake as desired (see my Pizza Dough recipe for times and temperatures).
