Pizza bianca
Make pizza bianca or white pizza, using a thick bechamel sauce. I make the sauce thicker by using less milk and adding lots of oregano to the sauce.

Pizza dough
- 7 g dry yeast
- 350 g water
- 200 g oat flour
- 400 g white flour
- 2 tsp salt
Bechamel sauce
- 50 g butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 300 g milk

- 1 garlic clove
Pizza dough
Mix water and dry yeast with a wooden spoon until solved.
Add in oat flour, all purpose white flour and salt, keep stirring with wooden spoon until thickens.
Use your hands to kneed together until forms a dough. Put on baking table and kneed for another 10 mins. If using a machine this step will of course go much quicker!
Let rise under a towel in a warm kitchen for 60 minutes.
In the mean time, prepare your bechamel sauce base and any toppings you want on your pizza.
Bechamel sauce
Melt butter in a saucepan, add the flour and let cook together while stirring. Peel and mince the garlic and add into the saucepan with the milk. Bring to boil to let the sauce thicken and then let simmer for 10 minutes, while stirring frequently to avoid burning at the bottom.
The consistency of the sauce when finished will be a thick bechamel.
Let the sauce cool down for about 30 minutes before putting it on your pizza dough.
