Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Pizza dough
- 150 grams Cooked salmon, flaked
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Milk
- 50 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 handful Baby spinach
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to form a 12-inch circle. Transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easier handling.
3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.
4. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for approximately 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. This is your Mornay sauce.
6. Spread the Mornay sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
7. Scatter the flaked salmon and baby spinach leaves over the sauce.
8. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
9. Drizzle the olive oil over the pizza for added flavor and to help the crust brown nicely.
10. Using the parchment paper to assist, transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
11. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
12. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.
