Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Pizza Dough (Homemade or Store-bought)
  • 1.5 Cups Low-Moisture Mozzarella (Shredded)
  • 1 Cup Italian Fontina (Cubed or Shredded)
  • 1/4 Cup Gorgonzola Dolce (Crumbled)
  • 1/2 Cup Parmigiano-Reggiano (Finely Grated)
  • 2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 3 Cloves Fresh Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 Teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 1 Teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • Fresh Basil Leaves (A handful)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to its highest setting (475°F to 500°F) with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for at least 45 minutes.
  3. Mix the extra virgin olive oil with minced garlic and a pinch of dried oregano in a small bowl to prepare the garlic oil.
  4. Lightly flour a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel and stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle using your hands.
  5. Brush the garlic oil over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  6. Evenly distribute the shredded Mozzarella over the base, followed by Fontina, crumbled Gorgonzola, and Parmigiano-Reggiano.
  7. Carefully transfer the pizza onto the hot stone in the oven and bake for about 8 to 12 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for two minutes before garnishing with fresh basil and red pepper flakes.

Notes

Use high-quality cheeses for the best flavor. Avoid pre-shredded cheese for optimal melting. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
