Ingredients for The Big Cheese

Method

Directions to Prepare The Big Cheese

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer it to a baking sheet or pizza stone.

  2. 2

    Add the Tomato Sauce

    Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

  3. 3

    Top with Cheeses

    Evenly distribute the smoked gouda, fresh mozzarella, and parmesan cheese over the tomato sauce.

  4. 4

    Season and Drizzle

    Sprinkle salt and black pepper over the cheese to taste. Drizzle olive oil on top for extra flavor.

  5. 5

    Bake the Pizza

    Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
