Four Cheese Pizza (Quattro Formaggi)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses Quick Meals
The secret to Four Cheese Pizza lies not just in quantity but in selection. Different textures—stretchy mozzarella, bold gorgonzola, hard parmesan, and creamy ricotta—melt at different rates. This play on textures creates a creamy, yet crispy topping. The saltiness and richness balance perfectly with the crispy crust.

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat oven to max (450-480°F). Heat pizza stone if using.

Tip: Hot stone gives oven spring.
2 ✓

Mix crushed garlic with olive oil. Let sit.

Tip: Protects garlic from burning.
3 ✓

Stretch dough by hand, leaving a rim.

Tip: Don't use a rolling pin; keep the air bubbles.
4 ✓

Brush dough with garlic oil.

Tip: Creates a barrier against soggy toppings.
5 ✓

Scatter mozzarella, crumble gorgonzola, sprinkle parmesan. Dollop ricotta on top.

Tip: Small pieces melt evenly.
6 ✓

Bake 10-12 minutes until bubbly and spotted brown.

Tip: Brown spots mean flavor (Maillard reaction).
7 ✓

Remove and garnish with fresh basil.

Tip: Add basil after baking to preserve aroma.
