BEST CHEESE MIX FOR PIZZA RECIPES

Steps:

• After you've made the dough, divide it in half and let come to room temperature, uncovered, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the oven floor and preheat to 500°.
  On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out 1 piece of dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/8 inch thick. Dust a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet with cornmeal and lay the dough on top. Spread half of the sauce on the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edge. Top with half of the provolone, then with half each of the mozzarella and parmesan. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet and bake until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted, 10 to 12 minutes. Repeat with the remaining dough and toppings. Makes 2 12-inch pizzas.

Steps:

• preheat oven to 425.
• prepare dough.
• brush the surface of the the prepared dough with a thin application of olive oil.
• evenly distribute the cheese over the oiled surface as follows: smoked gouda, mozzarella, fontina.

• top the tomatoes with the pieces of buffalo mozzarella followed by the shaved romano.
• transfer pizza to preheated oven, bake till crust is crisp and golden and center is bubbly, about 15 minutes.
• remove pizza from oven, sprinkle with basil.
• slice and serve.
