Types of Garlic Butter Sauce

Sometimes, the sauce included in your pizza can be a bit disappointing or simply just does not satisfy your taste buds. But don't worry, we got you covered. We have here some easy ways to make exquisite, mouth-watering butter garlic sauce right from your kitchen. 

1. Papa John' s-inspired Garlic Butter Sauce

To make Papa John's garlic butter sauce, we have to clarify our butter. Clarifying butter is a process wherein we separate milk solids and water ingredients of the butter and leave us with just the butterfat. One good thing about this sauce is that it has a longer shelf life, so you don't have to worry about storing it in your kitchen for a while.

For this recipe, we need the following ingredients: 

• 1/4 pound salted butter
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt

Procedure:

1. Place the butter into a saucepan over low heat. Let it melt. DO NOT stir.
2. Spoon the foamy layer on top. Discard it. 
3. Pour the middle layer of the butter into a separate dish.
4. Discard the milk solids.
5. Add garlic powder and salt to taste and stir.
6. Your Papa John' s-inspired garlic butter sauce is now ready.

2. Garlic Butter Dipping Sauce

This sauce has only four main ingredients - butter, garlic, basil, and oregano. You can use either salted or unsalted butter, whichever you prefer most.

Ingredients: 

• 1/3 cup (76g) butter
• 1 clove crushed garlic
• 1/4 tbsp. dried basil
• 2 tsp. dried oregano
