New Mexican Zia Pizza

Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 9 minutes
Servings: 1 pizza
Course: Main Dish
Cuisine: American

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

Method
 

  1. Prepare your pizza dough, starting the day before or the morning of your pizza bake, if possible.
  2. With your dough resting on the counter at room temperature, start making the white sauce.
  3. 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.
  4. Remove the sausage from the casing and brown, or make homemade Italian Turkey Sausage. You’ll have extra, freeze if for another day.
  5. Heat the frozen corn kernels in a microwave.
  6. 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).
