Four Cheese Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 lb pizza dough
• 1½ cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• ½ cup provolone cheese, shredded
• ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• ¼ cup ricotta cheese
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp dried oregano
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅛ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh basil leaves (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven during preheating.
2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness.
3. Transfer the dough to a pizza pan or parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the dough with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
4. Evenly spread mozzarella, provolone, and Parmesan cheeses over the dough. Dollop small amounts of ricotta cheese over the top.
5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
6. Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, then slice and garnish with fresh basil if desired.
