Pizza in Bianco is a white pizza topped with Parmesan, cheddar and butter instead of tomato sauce. The Thermomix kneads the baker's flour dough into a smooth, elastic base without any effort. Ideal as a vegetarian main course or sharing snack, delivering a golden, cheesy result with a crisp crust and rich, creamy flavour.
About this recipe
Pizza in Bianco with the Thermomix TM7 is the white pizza recipe that proves you don't need tomato sauce for a sensational result. Instead of the classic red base, this Italian-style pizza relies on a golden crust brushed with extra virgin olive oil and topped with a generous layer of Parmesan and cheddar, finished with knobs of butter that melt into bubbling pools of flavour. Searching for pizza recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine often leads to complicated dough methods, but the TM7 handles the hardest part: the kneading. Baker's flour, lukewarm water, sugar and instant yeast come together into a smooth, elastic dough with consistent results every single time. This makes it a brilliant choice for a quick weeknight dinner, a relaxed Friday pizza night with friends, or a kid-friendly baking afternoon where little hands help stretch the dough and scatter the cheese. Serve it straight from the oven with a crisp green salad.
Preparation tips
- Let the yeast dough proof in a warm, draught-free spot until it has visibly doubled in size; this gives the Pizza in Bianco its airy crumb and light crust rather than a dense base under the cheese.
- Grate the Parmesan and cheddar freshly just before topping the pizza, as pre-grated cheese contains anti-caking agents that prevent it from melting into those creamy, bubbling pools on the white base.
- For extra flavour, brush the stretched dough with the extra virgin olive oil and scatter small knobs of butter before adding the cheeses, so the edges turn golden and crisp while the centre stays tender.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the cheddar and butter with lactose-free cheese and plant-based butter, and use a hard aged lactose-free cheese instead of Parmesan to keep the same rich, melting character of the Pizza in Bianco.
- Festive winter version: add thin slices of pear or fig, crumbled blue cheese and a drizzle of honey after baking for a refined party variation on the classic white pizza that pairs beautifully with a glass of sparkling wine.
