Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
Prepare the White Sauce: Heat Olive Oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add Garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Deglaze with White Wine and simmer until reduced by half. Stir in Heavy Cream, Parmesan Cheese, Salt, and Pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Prepare the Clams: In a separate pan, heat Olive Oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped Clams and cook until they open, about 5-7 minutes. Discard any clams that do not open.
Stretch or roll out the Pizza Dough to your desired thickness and shape.
Spread the White Sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the cooked Clams evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle with Dried Oregano and Parmesan Cheese.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the clams are bubbly.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
