- Can I use Grana Padano?
- Yes, it's slightly softer and less salty, but a perfect alternative.
- Isn't it too greasy?
- Due to cream and cheese, it's calorie-dense. Serve with a side of acidic salad (like arugula with lemon) to aid digestion.
Creamy Parmesan White Pizza
This version of Pizza Bianca celebrates Parmigiano Reggiano. Parmesan isn't just for grating; it's an umami bomb. The creamy base softens its intense saltiness, while rosemary brings freshness. Elegant, clean flavors.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat oven to 430°F (220°C). Mix olive oil with crushed garlic.
Tip: Garlic oil creates the flavor foundation.
2
✓
Roll out dough, brush first with garlic oil, then thinly with cream.
Tip: The oil layer prevents the cream from soaking in immediately and making it soggy.
3
✓
Sprinkle with finely grated Parmesan and mozzarella.
Tip: Fine grating ensures the Parmesan melts evenly into the cream.
4
✓
Scatter rosemary leaves on top. Bake 10-12 minutes until golden.
Tip: Rosemary oil infuses the hot cheese. Coat leaves in a little oil to prevent burning.
5
✓
Remove and serve immediately. A little fresh pepper on top is great.
Tip: Pepper cuts the richness of the cream.
