Ingredients:
For the pizza dough:
- 1 pound (about 450g) pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Cornmeal or flour for dusting
For the toppings:
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded provolone cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded fontina cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible (around 475-500°F or 245-260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
- Prepare your pizza dough. Roll it out on a floured surface into a circle or rectangle, depending on your preference. If using store-bought dough, follow the instructions on the packaging.
- Sprinkle some cornmeal or flour on a pizza peel or baking sheet to prevent the dough from sticking. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the peel or baking sheet.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella, provolone, fontina, and Parmesan cheeses evenly over the sauce.
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven. If using a pizza stone, slide the pizza onto the hot stone. Otherwise, place the baking sheet with the pizza in the oven.
- Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
- Slice the pizza and serve hot.
