Elevate your pizza game with this amazing four-cheese pizza. This flavorful pizza combines the rich and creamy goodness of four different cheeses with a surprising ingredient that adds depth and complexity to every slice. Here’s how to make it.
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- 1/2 cup of marinara sauce
- 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup of shredded Gouda cheese
- 1/4 cup of sliced Kalamata olives
- 1/4 cup of sliced sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for extra heat)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to the temperature recommended for your pizza dough. Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, followed by the crumbled feta cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, and shredded Gouda cheese.
- Arrange the sliced Kalamata olives and sun-dried tomatoes over the cheese. If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes over the pizza for an extra kick of heat.
- Transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions for your pizza dough, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Once the pizza is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle the chopped fresh basil over the hot pizza for a burst of freshness and color.
- Slice your pizza into wedges and serve hot, accompanied by your favorite salad or a garlic dip.
