Summer Menu | Creamy Broccolini and Mushroom Pizza

This one is for the garlic fanatics (myself included). This pizza recipe has a rich alfredo base, roasted garlic, and fresh mozzarella. It's creamy, savoury, and just the right amount of indulgent.

This pizza is comfort food at its best: rich, garlicky, and easy to pull off. Totally worth the garlic breath, promise. 

Why Alfredo Sauce Works on Pizza

White sauce pizzas skip the tomato base in favour of something creamy, garlicky, and luxurious. The richness lets the veggies shine instead of competing with acidity, and it pairs especially well with earthier toppings like mushrooms. If you’ve only ever gone the red sauce route, this is an opportunity to switch it up.

Let's get into it!

Base:

  • Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Toppings:

  • Blanched broccolini
  • Cremini or white mushrooms, sliced
  • Roasted garlic cloves (whole or smashed)
  • Fresh mozzarella (or shredded firm)
  • Optional: chili flakes

Tip:

I used my favourite tried and true cold-fermented dough recipe and baked this pizza on The Pro steel for that signature crispy bottom and fluffy crust.


Instructions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Slice the top off a head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast 35–45 min until soft and jammy. Cool, then squeeze out 6–8 cloves worth. Tip: Roasted garlic keeps in the fridge up to a week, so you can prep it earlier.
  2. Preheat your oven with your pizza steel inside to 530°F. 
  3. Blanch the broccolini: bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, cook broccolini for 1–2 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  4. Stretch your dough and spread a thin layer of Alfredo sauce over the base.
  5. Add broccolini, mushrooms, and roasted garlic (dot the roasted cloves over the sauce) evenly across the dough.
  6. Tear or slice mozzarella and scatter it over the top.
  7. Bake on your steel until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling (about 5 minutes).
  8. Finish with a pinch of chili flakes if you like a little heat.

Slice, serve, and enjoy!
