Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (for a 12-inch crust) Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.3333 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup Fontina cheese, shredded
- 0.3333 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
- 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Lightly flour a clean surface and stretch or roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet.
Brush the olive oil over the surface of the dough to create a nice base layer for the toppings.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by the Parmesan, Fontina, and crumbled Gorgonzola cheeses.
If desired, sprinkle Italian seasoning over the top for extra flavor.
Slide the pizza (with parchment paper, if using) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired, before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious Four Cheese Pizza!
