00:00 Welcome back to Honey's Cooking everybody! In this video we're going to be making my favorite pizza.
00:05 It's a healthy spinach alfredo pizza. It's actually a copycat from a pizza place called Cici's.
00:11 That's our little munchkin. She's playing over there. She'll be at the end of the video unless she's asleep.
00:16 But if you hear her, she's playing.
00:18 First I'm going to show you guys how to make the alfredo sauce.
00:21 We're going to make homemade alfredo sauce. The best, way better than the jar for this pizza.
00:26 For our alfredo sauce, what we're going to need is 3 tablespoons of butter.
00:30 I have ours melted in here already. That's our first step of the alfredo sauce.
00:35 Then we're going to have 3 tablespoons of flour, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of pepper,
00:44 2 cloves of garlic or 2 teaspoons about if you're using garlic powder or garlic salt.
00:49 And then we're going to use 1/2 a cup of our shredded cheese.
00:52 I have 2 cups because we're going to use the rest for our pizza.
00:56 First step, we're going to melt our butter as I told you guys before. I already did that.
01:02 The second thing we're going to do is take our flour, 3 tablespoons, big spoons of flour,
01:08 put it into our butter and whisk it together or mix it.
01:12 So we're going to do that. There's 1, 2, and 3.
01:20 And we're going to stir that together just like this just to mix it.
01:27 And it's going to turn into not really a paste but it's going to get thicker as we add this flour.
01:36 And then after I get this nice and stirred together, we're going to boil our milk.
01:40 That's our next step. And then we're going to add the milk to this.
01:46 Okay, so blooper part right here. I messed up.
01:50 We're boiling our milk right now but I did realize that as you can see, our garlic is not cooked.
01:54 So ordinarily you would cook your garlic with the butter after you've melted it before you add the flour.
02:00 I didn't do that. So I'm going to add a little bit of butter, just enough to cook this garlic.
02:04 And then we're going to add it to our butter mixture.
02:07 As you can see, I added the garlic to our butter mixture.
02:11 Now we're going to add our boiled milk into our butter mixture.
02:16 And we're going to stir it.
02:18 We're going to add gradually so we can stir the butter and the flour mixture into that together so it mixes well.
02:25 If you add it all at once, it's harder to mix it.
02:28 Now we're going to keep stirring it a little bit. We're going to warm it up.
02:32 And as it's warming up, we're going to add the rest of our ingredients.
02:37 So we're going to add our half a cup of cheese.
02:41 And like I said, I have a bunch of cheese. I have two cups because I have enough for the rest of our pizza.
02:46 You are going to need one and a half cups later for the pizza.
02:50 I'm going to add this in and let it melt.
02:56 Let's see, a little bit more maybe.
02:59 Okay.
03:03 Like that. We're going to let this start melting.
03:06 And while this is melting, add our salt and pepper.
03:10 And let it get thicker.
03:14 So one teaspoon of salt.
03:18 And the next one teaspoon of pepper.
03:23 There we go. That's about a teaspoon.
03:29 See how the cheese is getting melted and it's getting stringy, gooey kind of?
03:35 That's what we want. And as it gets warmer, it's going to keep melting and it's going to make our sauce thicker.
03:41 Our sauce is ready as you can see.
03:44 You can't smell it, but I can. It smells amazing.
03:46 As you can see, it's a nice sauce now instead of being gooey with the cheese like it was before.
03:51 We're going to add our sauce onto our pizza dough here.
03:55 I actually made the pizza dough. I like to make it better than using the store-bought one.
04:00 Either way works.
04:01 If you want to make yours, I'm going to put the directions to both this Alfredo sauce and the pizza dough in the description below.
04:08 So check that out if you want to make that.
04:10 For our pizza, we need the sauce that we just made, a pizza dough, and some spinach.
04:16 You'll need about 8 ounces of fresh spinach, and I just cooked ours in butter.
04:22 To make the pizza, we're going to add our sauce on top.
04:26 We're just going to spoon it out and spread it across.
04:31 Look how yummy that is.
04:32 The store ones I find that are in the jars are usually more liquidy, which makes it kind of hard to spread it, and it's not as thick.
04:39 I like the thicker sauce for the pizza.
04:41 Whoops. Sorry about that. That was kind of loud.
04:44 We're just going to spread it across the pizza.
04:46 It already looks amazing, I think.
04:48 Now we're going to add our spinach across, and I just plop it down and kind of spread it with a spoon.
04:54 Whoops.
04:55 You can add more or less spinach, depending on what you like.
04:58 My honey doesn't like spinach so much, so I don't use as much so it doesn't have the spinach taste.
05:04 If you like spinach, like I do, you can add as much as your heart desires.
05:09 Here is our pizza in progress.
05:13 We've got the spinach spread all the way across.
05:16 Whoops, that cheese stuck to me.
05:17 Now we're going to add our cheese on the top.
05:20 We're just going to sprinkle it across.
05:22 I'm using mozzarella cheese.
05:24 Like I said at the beginning of the video, you need about a cup and a half.
05:29 That's what I use, at least a cup and a half for the top and half a cup for your sauce.
05:34 Our pizza is ready to go into the oven.
05:39 We've got ours preheated at 425.
05:42 We're going to cook it for about 15 to 20 minutes.
05:46 In he goes.
05:48 Now we wait.
05:50 Here's our pizza, everybody.
05:52 Look how amazing that looks.
05:54 It's so delicious.
05:55 Like I said, it's my favorite pizza, so I can't wait to taste it.
05:58 Whoops.
05:59 Thank you guys for watching.
