• Add the other tablespoon of olive oil and the tablespoon of flour. Cook for 23 minutes. Add milk while continually whisking. Turn heat to high, bring to a bowl, then reduce to a simmer.
• Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Continue to simmer until pizza dough is ready.

• Return to oven and bake until cheese is melted and pizza is starting to brown around the edges.
