Ingredients
- 2 pounds pizza dough (store bought or homemade)
- Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup milk
- 3 ½ cups shredded cheese divided
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cups diced ham

- Heat oven to 475°F. Lightly grease a large 14-16" pizza dish.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out your pizza dough until desired size and thickness is reached. Carefully transfer to pizza pan and adjust accordingly.

- Add flour to hot butter. Stir to combine. Allow to heat back up for a minute.
- Begin slowly adding milk, a tablespoon or two at a time, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
- Cook and stir until mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.
- Add 1½ cups shredded cheese and stir until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Pour cheese sauce on pizza crust. Top with ham and remaining shredded cheese.
- Sprinkle on parsley for garnish.
- Bake 13 to 15 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
