Instructions
Making your own Four Cheese Pizza can be a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Add Sauce (Optional): If you prefer, spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
4. Drizzle Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil over the dough to enhance flavor and crispness.
5. Layer Cheeses: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over the pizza. Follow with the cheddar, gorgonzola, and parmesan cheeses.
6. Season: Sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on top of the cheese for added flavor.
7. Bake: Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
8. Cool: Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
9. Garnish: Optionally, top with fresh basil leaves for a burst of color and flavor.
10. Slice and Serve: Cut the pizza into slices and serve hot.
