White Sauce Recepie

In the Signature Style of Chef Shah Meer

1. Definition

White Sauce is a creamy, mildly tangy sauce commonly used in pizzas, sandwiches, wraps, and pasta.

It is defined by:

Smooth mayonnaise-based texture

Light garlic aroma

Mild white pepper heat

Subtle oregano flavor

Balanced creamy consistency

In the philosophy of Chef Shah Meer, a perfect White Sauce must be smooth, balanced, and lightly seasoned — enhancing the dish without overpowering its core flavors.

2. History

White sauces have long been part of European cuisine, especially in French and Italian cooking, where cream-based and butter-based sauces were widely used.

Over time, fast-food and commercial kitchens adapted simpler mayonnaise-based white sauces for convenience and consistency. In South Asia and the Middle East, chefs further enhanced them with garlic, sesame, oregano, and lemon juice to suit local flavor preferences.

Today, White Sauce is a staple in modern pizzerias and sandwich counters.

Chef Shah Meer’s Professional Tips

Use freshly crushed garlic for stronger aroma.

Lightly dry roast sesame seeds for deeper flavor (optional).

Do not overuse white pepper; balance keeps sauce refined.

Always chill before applying on pizza or sandwiches.
