Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Marinara sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
- 10 leaves Basil leaves, fresh
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough.
Spread the marinara sauce over the base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Dot the pizza with crumbles of gorgonzola cheese.
Place small spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the pizza, about 1 inch apart.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the entire pizza.
Season with salt and black pepper.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet using the parchment paper.
Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Finish by adding fresh basil leaves on top.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve hot.
