- Can I use Grana Padano?
- Yes, it is a little softer and less salty, but a perfect alternative.
- Won't it be too greasy?
- Due to the cream and cheeses, this is a calorie-rich dish. It is a perfect accompaniment to a little acidic salad (e.g., rocket with lemon), which helps digestion.
Pizza Bianca con Parmigiano
This version of Pizza Bianca (white pizza) is a tribute to Parmesan cheese (Parmigiano Reggiano). Parmesan is not just a cheese for grating, but an 'umami' (the fifth taste) bomb. The creamy base softens the intense saltiness of the cheese, while rosemary brings freshness to the composition. Elegant, refined flavours.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Mix the olive oil with the crushed garlic.
Tip: The garlic oil lays the foundation for the flavours.
2
✓
Roll out the dough, brush first with the garlic oil, then thinly with the cream.
Tip: The oil layer prevents the cream from immediately soaking into the dough and making it soggy. (Barrier layer).
3
✓
Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan and mozzarella.
Tip: Parmesan is best finely grated so it melts evenly into the cream.
4
✓
Sprinkle with rosemary leaves. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
Tip: The rosemary oil dissolves into the hot cheese. If you are afraid the leaves will burn, toss them in a little oil before baking.
5
✓
Remove and serve immediately. A little extra fresh pepper on top does it good.
Tip: The heat of the pepper 'cuts' the richness of the cream.
