Roast garlic and oil on the stove. Turn a small pan to medium-low heat on the stove. Add olive oil and garlic. Sauté garlic for about 3 minutes, stirring regularly, until translucent. Remove garlic oil from heat before garlic browns. Set aside to cool.
Heat butter with flour to make a roux. What is a roux? A roux is a mixture of equal parts flour + fat that hold the sauce together. In this recipe, butter is the fat. To make it, turn a small saucepan on the stove to medium heat. Add butter, and once it melts, whisk in flour slowly so it becomes smooth. Cook flour and butter roux mixture for about 1 minute until it turns light brown and the air smells nutty. Keep the pan on the burner, on medium, for the next step.
Add cold milk to the roux. Slowly pour cold milk into the saucepan with the roux, whisking as it incorporates. Once all the milk is in the pan, turn the heat of the burner to high. Once the milk begins to bubble (usually within 1-2 minutes), reduce the heat of the burner to medium. Then pour the cooked garlic oil mixture (from step 1) to the saucepan. Continue to whisk ingredients as they bubble for 1 minute. Then turn off the heat of the burner (at this time, it’s okay to leave the pan on the burner to pick up residual heat).
Add the rest of the white pizza sauce ingredients. Add the seasonings (salt, black pepper, Italian dried seasonings) to the saucepan. Whisk to combine. Add parmesan cheese and whisk again, until the white cheese sauce ingredients are smooth and well integrated. Remove white cheese sauce from the burner and stir in the fresh chopped parsley. Use white sauce for pizza immediately or store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

Notes
Sauce will appear to harden if left for long at room temperature or in the refrigerator. This is called becoming congealed - which means the ingredients like the cheese have returned to a semisolid state. It’s completely normal as the cheese sauce cools.You don’t have to reheat it to spread the sauce on pizza. I find using the back of a large spoon to smear the white sauce on pizza works just fine.See the recipe: https://sipbitego.com/white-pizza-sauceSee the recipe video for white sauce.
