Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C), or whatever temperature your pizza dough recipe recommends.

Prepare the cheese sauce. Create a roux by melting the
Butter (15 g)

All-Purpose Flour (8 g)
and mix until incorporated. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour cooks out and you only smell butter.
Step 3
Whisk in the
1% Low Fat Milk (240 mL)
and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer until thickened, continuously whisking.
Step 4
Once thick, season with the
Salt (3 g)
and
Ground Black Pepper (as needed)
, then stir in the
Shredded Italian Blend Cheese (115 g)
. Taste and adjust as needed. Keep on low heat.

Butter (15 g)

Garlic (1 clove)
and
Fresh Thyme Leaves (1 sprig)
and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add the
Vegetable Stock (180 mL)
and
Marsala Wine (180 mL)
. Cook until the sauce has reduced enough to coat the mushrooms, however still a bit loose. Taste for

and bake until golden brown.
