Equipment

Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp reduced fat cream cheese
- ¼ cup whole milk
- 2 Tbsp grated parmesan
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar or colby jack, for milder flavor
- ½ cup broccoli cooked, cooled, and chopped
- ½ cup sliced deli ham cut into 1 inch pieces
- zest of 1 lemon optional

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, melt together the butter, cream cheese and milk. Once melted and beginning to steam, whisk in the parmesan, garlic powder, and pepper to combine. Allow to cool completely.
- Place your pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 550ºF (or as hot as your oven will go).
- Dust your peel with corn meal, and dust the work surface with flour.
- Roll or press your pizza dough out into a 16-inch round. Transfer to the pizza peel.
- Distribute the white sauce all over the pizza crust.
- Cover the sauce with cheese, and then dress with broccoli and cheddar.
- Transfer the pizza from the peel to the preheated stone. Bake for 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is lightly browned and the crust is cooked through.
- Remove from the stone back onto the peel, and cut into 8 slices.
- Sprinkle on lemon zest and/or crushed red pepper as desired.
