Method

Dough Preparation

  1. 1

    Activate the Yeast

    In a small bowl, combine warm water (110°F/43°C) and sugar. Stir in the active dry yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

  2. 2

    Mix the Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil.

  3. 3

    Knead the Dough

    Mix until a dough forms, then knead on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  4. 4

    First Rise

    Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

  2. 6

    Shape the Dough

    Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to fit your baking sheet or pizza stone.

  3. 7

    Add Cheese Toppings

    Spread the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle mozzarella, cheddar, Gorgonzola, and Parmesan cheese on top.

  4. 8

    Season the Flat

    Sprinkle dried oregano, dried basil, cracked black pepper, and salt over the cheese.

  5. 9

    Bake the Flat

    Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.

Serving

  1. 10

    Cool and Slice

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice into squares or wedges, and serve hot.
