Pizza Dough
Pizza Topping
Method
Making the Dough
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix Dough
In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Let Dough Rise
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Assembling the Pizza
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Shape the Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to a 7-inch circle.
Add Sauce
Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the surface.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the mozzarella, cheddar, parmesan, gorgonzola, and fontina cheeses evenly over the sauce.
Bake Pizza
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Cool and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
