How to make four cheese pizza

There was a time when pizza was a simple dish for ordinary people in Italy. However, now it is one of the most famous Italian dishes in the world and popular among all segments of the population. You can prepare a simple version of this dish at home using ingredients you have on hand. As a rule, the filling for homemade pizza is sausage, cheese, tomatoes, and tomato sauce. But you can also make a more “Italian” pizza called “quattro formaggio.” This name in the native language sounds like four cheeses.

Flour and cheeses produced in Italy differ from domestic products, however, following the principles of preparing four cheese pizza, it can be prepared on your own in your home kitchen.
Traditionally, the following cheeses are used for Quattro Formaggio:

• Dor Blue blue cheese;
  
• hard parmesan;
  
• mozzarella with a soft texture;
  
• sweet maasdam.

It is not a problem to find all these types of cheese in the retail chain. Even if they are not produced in Italy, but in domestic dairies, homemade four-cheese pizza turns out very tasty. If any cheese is not on sale, you can select any other cheese with similar characteristics.
