Pizza "Four Forbidden Cheeses"
3 servings
20 minutes
The 'Four Forbidden Cheeses' pizza is a gastronomic challenge to traditional Italian flavors. Its history is rooted in the art of cheesemaking, combining classic varieties: mozzarella, blue cheese, Gruyère, and Parmesan. Each slice of this pizza impresses with a rich creamy taste with subtle hints of noble mold and nutty spice. The main rule is proper baking: the cheese must be stretchy and fully melted while maintaining a rich texture. It’s the perfect choice for connoisseurs of exquisite flavors and those ready for experiments. Served hot with a glass of white wine or fresh herbs, it becomes a true culinary delight.

Prepare the dough: add yeast to warm water, stir, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Mix the flour with salt well! Once the water with yeast settles, make a well in the flour and gradually pour in the liquid, kneading the dough. As soon as the dough forms a ball, add olive oil. Now the most important part: the dough will be slightly sticky, but don't worry: you need to knead it for 10 minutes (set a timer, seriously). Place the dough in a warm place, cover it with a towel, and forget about it for 30 minutes.

Assembly: in half an hour the dough should double in size. First, roll out the dough with a rolling pin, then transfer it to parchment paper and stretch it by hand to your desired size and thickness (but better thin, this pizza won't forgive thick dough).

IMPORTANT! Don't overcook this pizza, or the cheese will brown too much and harden, making it taste bad, trust me! The cheese should be stretchy and fully melted.
