This White Pizza Is a great alternative to red sauce pizzas, is cheesy and has that delicious Alfredo taste.
White Pizza
Every Friday night is pizza night, so we’re usually picking up or making pizzas for the night. We used to do take out more, but recently found a Homemade Pizza Dough recipe that changed the pizza game for us. Having that recipe down pat along with having recipes for perfect sauces (RED and WHITE), we’ve been making pizzas like it’s nobody’s business. One of our favorite homemade pizzas is WHITE pizza (aka Alfredo Pizza). Have you tried it before? It’s amazing and so flavorful!! We love us some typical red sauce pizzas, but we think our Alfredo sauce is to die for!!
How to Make Alfredo Pizza
Although the recipe can be easily made using a store-bought pizza dough, homemade pizza dough is our favorite!! Our recipe is so simple and makes about 4 crusts. We like to make these earlier in the day so we can just add the pizza and toppings at night. Our white sauce is also really easy, so we recommend it to everyone. Once that is made the rest of the pizza is cinch! NOTE: If making pizza dough fresh, cook at 500 for 5 minutes, then top with sauce and toppings and bake an additional 8-10 minutes. 😉
Variations
You could add some additional toppings, or try various cheeses on your alfredo pizza. Here are some suggestions:
Fresh basilRed pepper flakesSweet Italian sausageFresh thymeOnionsTomatoesBaconRicottaProvolone FetaFontina
Making Ahead & Keeping for Later
Pizza makes such a great FREEZER MEAL. After you have rolled out your dough then you will want to par-bake it. To do this just put it in the oven on a baking sheet at 500 degrees and cook for 5 minutes then take it out to cool. Once the dough has cooled completely, add sauce and toppings as desired. Then freeze the pizza on a baking sheet for 2-3 hours, once it is frozen then wrap it in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to bake your frozen pizza, unwrap it and bake it, still frozen, in the oven at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is brown. Leftovers will last in the fridge for 3-4 days if stored properly. STORE them in an airtight container or Ziplock bag. To REHEAT, put in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until hot or reheat in the oven at 350 degrees for 5-10 minutes. Oh boy we love this Chicken Alfredo Pizza!! My kids have said it’s their new favorite and although they are a still a little leery of the spinach, they love this White Pizza. Give it a try and let us know what you think of it!
