Creating a delightful Four Cheese Pizza is simple if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
2. Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 12 inches in diameter.
3. Prepare the Pizza Base: Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling. Brush the dough with olive oil.
4. Season the Base: Sprinkle garlic powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper evenly over the dough.
5. Add Cheeses: Start by spreading the ricotta cheese evenly over the base. Then, layer the mozzarella, followed by the cheddar, and finally sprinkle the blue cheese on top.
6. Bake the Pizza: Carefully transfer the pizza (on the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
7. Cool the Pizza: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
8. Garnish: Optionally, add fresh basil leaves for a burst of freshness.
9. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into wedges and serve warm.
