- Pour about 2/3 cup milk into a saucepan. Cut the butter into a few chunks (the exact size isn’t important, it’s just so it’ll melt more easily) and toss them into the milk. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring, until the butter melts, being careful not to let the milk reach a boil.
- Once the butter has been completely incorporated into the hot milk, ladle some of the warm mixture into the cold flour mixture and whisk until it’s warm. Pour the contents of the bowl back into the saucepan and whisk it in. Stir in the salt. Place the pan over medium-low heat and whisk the mixture frequently to prevent sticking as it cooks and thickens. The béchamel is done at about 180°F (82°C), or when it has reached the consistency of a runny sauce or heavy cream. Grate in or add the nutmeg, remove from the heat, and let the sauce cool slightly or all the way to room temperature. It will continue to thicken a little as it cools.
- Use the bechamel immediately or cool, cover, and refrigerate for up to 5 days (if refrigerating the béchamel, bring it back to room temperature before using).

- If using a gas oven, place the baking stone in a gas oven on a rack about 8 inches from the broiler. Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C) for 30 minutes. Switch to broil for 10 minutes. If using an electric oven, see the variation following the recipe.
- Place the dough on a pizza peel. Spoon the béchamel over the surface and spread it evenly, leaving the outer inch or so of the dough untouched. Sprinkle the béchamel with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Distribute the clumps of mozzarella. Sprinkle with the salt and rosemary.
- Using quick, jerking motions, slide the pie from the peel onto the hot, hot, hot baking stone. Broil for about 3 minutes if you have a gas oven, and somewhat longer with an electric oven. The ingredients should be bubbling and the crust nicely charred but not burnt.
- Using the peel, transfer the pizza to a tray or serving platter before slicing it into wedges. Serve immediately. Originally published October 22, 2013.
