FAMILY NIGHT PIZZA

“When we think of pizza, we all think of tomato sauce, but this one is made with a white sauce, which is also done in Italy,” says Milk Calendar recipe developer Heather Trim. Makes: 8 servings Preparation time: 40 minutes

2 sheets frozen puff pastry, thawed (about 450g package) 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tbsp (30 mL) all-purpose flour 1 tsp (5 mL) dried basil ¼ tsp (1 mL) salt 1 cup (250 mL) milk 2 plum tomatoes 2 mushrooms 2 thin slices deli ham 2 cups (500 mL) shredded mozzarella Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

1. Preheat oven to 425 F (220 C). Unroll puff pastry and place side by side (overlapping slightly to form one large crust) to fit on a large, parchment-lined baking sheet. Press the overlapped dough together so it sticks. Prick all over with a fork. Press edges with a fork. Refrigerate pastry until ready to use.

2. Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle with flour, basil and salt; whisk for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Whisk for 2 minutes until smooth and thickened; set aside.

3. Thinly slice tomatoes and mushrooms. Cut ham into pieces. Drizzle cooled milk sauce over pastry, leaving about ½ inch (1 cm) around edges. Spread to barely cover crust. Arrange tomatoes, mushrooms and ham over sauce. Sprinkle with cheese.

4. Bake for about 15 minutes or until a deep golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with basil, if using.
