Ingredients
- 1 ball (approx. 250g) pizza dough
- 2 tbsp (for dusting) all-purpose flour
- 100 g mozzarella cheese
- 50 g gorgonzola cheese
- 30 g (grated) Parmesan cheese
- 70 g ricotta cheese
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°C (480°F) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 2
Lightly dust your work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a thin circle, about 10-12 inches in diameter.
Step 3
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier transfer to the oven later.
Step 4
Brush the entire surface of the dough lightly with olive oil to prevent sogginess and enhance the flavor.
Step 5
Tear or slice the mozzarella cheese into small pieces and scatter them evenly over the base of the pizza.
Step 6
Crumble the gorgonzola cheese and dollop it evenly across the pizza for distinctive tangy bites.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly on top of the other cheeses.
Step 8
Add small spoonfuls of ricotta cheese across the pizza for a creamy texture in every slice.
Step 9
Season with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 10
Carefully slide the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Step 11
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 12
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
