Creamy Pizza Sauce And Topping Recipes

WHITE AND GOLD PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook 15 to 20 min. or until tender and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
• Place pizza dough on lightly floured baking sheet; stretch to fit 16 x 12-inch baking sheet. Mix garlic and remaining oil; spread onto dough. Bake 10 min.
• Spread crust with cream cheese; top with remaining cheeses, onions and red pepper. Bake 10 to 12 min. or until crust is lightly browned.

CREAMY PIZZA SAUCE AND TOPPING

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in food processor and blend until smooth - make sure there are no tofu bits visible.
• Spread the mixture on a 16" (approx) pizza crust of your choice. Whole grain crust is healthiest.
• Top with your favorite toppings such as mushrooms, black olives, chopped artichoke hearts, baby spinach, etc.
• If you wish you can sprinkle a little parmesan or other grated cheese on top as well.
• Bake like regular pizza - I use a 400 degree oven until hot in center, about 12 minute.
• Notes: Silken tofu is the kind that comes in the aseptic shelf-stable boxes. As a variation, you can use chopped frozen spinach that is thawed and squeezed dry in place of basil.

CREAMY CHICKEN PIZZA TOPPING

Steps:

• Cook chicken breast in oven for 30 minutes at 180°C / 350°F or grill until cooked through. You can of course use leftover chicken.
• Melt butter over gentle heat in a small saucepan and stir in flour until mixed well.
• Stir in milk gradually and continue to stir until it has reduced just a little, not much just a minute or two.
• Reduce temperature to low and stir through cheese until it has just melted and remove from the heat.
• Stir through the pineapple juice and stir rapidly to get it back to a thinner consistency.
• Coarsely cut the chicken into cubes roughly 1cm (little under 1/2") across and add to the cheese sauce and mix through.
• Stir through pineapple, onion, garlic, parsley, chives and sage. Place in the refrigerator 30 minutes while you prepare the oven/grill or alternatively it can be done in advance.
• Spread the base with the tomato paste or your favourite pizza sauce and then evenly spread the chicken mixture over the top.
• Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of mozzarella over the top and cook as per your preferences until the cheese is melted through etc.

WHITE PIZZA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat butter and olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender and fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour and whisk until flour is lightly browned and onion is translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Mix milk, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, salt, and black pepper into onion mixture. Cook, whisking continuously, until cheese is melted and sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
