Garlic Flavoured Mushroom Pizza with Bechamel Sauce...!!!
Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Italian Dishes, Pastas N Pizzas
I like baking pizza sometimes and that day i was in mood of baking some different pizza. I wanted to make something different from the normal tomato sauce or marinara sauce pizza...so i decided to make white sauce also called as bechamel sauce pizza with the veges i had at home. I also decided to give the plain base some flavour, as i was bored from the normal plain base. So i added some crisp fried garlic and chilli flakes and herbs to the base.So this is how this pizza was made and it tasted damn yummy, base had a nice flavour....i just loved it...:-))
INGREDIENTS:
For Pizza Crust:
1 n 1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tea spoon chopped garlic
1 tea spoon chilli flakes(paprika)
2 tea spoons mixed herbs

1 table spoon olive oil
salt
For Toppings:
1 n 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped capsicum
1 cup caramalized onions
1 cup grated mozerella cheese

2 cups whole milk
2 table spoon cornflour

To make the sauce heat a vessel, add butter to it. Now add chopped garlic and fry till it becomes light brown. Add basil leaves torn in hand and saute for 1 min.

Now add chilli flakes, pepper powder and nutmeg powder.When thickened enough remove from flame and keep.
Make a ball of the doubled dough and roll it into a pizza.Do not make it too thick or too thin. It should be as thick as 4-5mm. Now take a fork and prick the base at some places.Now apply olive oil on it.Spread the bechamel sauce evenly on the whole base.Now spread the toppings on it.Spinkle little pepper powder, salt , oregeno and chilli flakes.
