Ingredients

• 1 ball (12-inch size) Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 clove (minced) Garlic
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.75 cup Fontina cheese (shredded)
• 0.5 cup Ricotta cheese
• 0.25 cup Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
• 5 leaves (for garnish) Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon (for dusting) Cornmeal

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

On a clean surface, dust with a little flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Alternatively, stretch it by hand.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of cornmeal on a pizza peel or an upside-down baking sheet. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared surface.

Step 4

Brush the olive oil evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, and sprinkle the minced garlic on top.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese and shredded Fontina cheese.

Step 6

Drop small dollops of ricotta cheese across the pizza, making sure they are evenly spaced. Finally, sprinkle the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese over the top.

Step 7

Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheeses are bubbly and melted.

Step 8

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
