Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tsp. sugar
1 envelope active dry yeast
2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing and drizzling
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 cup warm water
Cornmeal for sprinkling
1 package Johnsonville® Ground Mild Italian Sausage or Links, casings removed
1/3 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, cut into 1" slices
1/2 gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1 tsp fresh herbs (optional), chopped

Steps:

  • Prepare the dough: Whisk 1 cup warm water (about 105 degrees F) and the sugar in a small bowl and sprinkle the yeast over top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Stir in olive oil. Whisk the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center, pour in the yeast mixture and stir to make a shaggy dough. Place dough on a floured surface and knead about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic, adding just enough flour to prevent it from sticking. Form into a ball, place in a large oiled bowl, turning to coat with the oil. Turn seam-side down and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature about 1 hour, 30 minutes, until doubled in size. Position oven rack to top shelf, along with a pizza stone or baking sheet. Preheat to 450 degrees F. Prepare sausage in a large skillet. Remove and drain the fat. Sprinkle working surface and rolling pin with cornmeal to prevent sticking. Knead dough for a few seconds to begin shaping it into a ball. Using rolling pin, roll the dough out to a circle that is approximately 10" in diameter. Finish stretching using your hands. The dough should be thin. Remove baking sheet or pizza stone from the oven and sprinkle it with cornmeal. Carefully place the pizza dough on the stone or baking sheet and quickly sprinkle with Ricotta Cheese. Scatter the Mozzarella and Gorgonzola pieces, along with the sausage, and finally, top with Parmesan Cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from oven, garnish with fresh herb, cut and enjoy! *Always cook sausage to internal temperature of 160 degrees F

4 links (400g) italian sausage, casing removed, cooked, drained and divided
2 -14 inch pizza crusts
1 c marinara sauce, or as needed, divided
1/2 c sun-dried tomatoes, drained and divided
14 slice green peppers, divided
14 slice red peppers, divided
1 c mozzarella cheese, grated and divided
1 c asiago cheese, grated and divided
1 c fontina cheese, grated and divided
1 c parmesan cheese, grated and divided
1/2 can(s) (2.25 oz.) sliced black olives, drained and divided
10 large fresh basil leaves, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 500ºF. In a skillet over medium heat, place sausage, breaking down the meat into tiny pieces, and sauté until cooked. Remove from the heat and drain well.
  • 2. Meanwhile, spread marinara sauce over the pizza crusts. Spread drained meat evenly on both pies as well as sun-dried tomatoes.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh mozzarella, Parmesan-Reggiano, and Pecorino Romano cheeses, as well as a flavorful tomato sauce.
  • Don't overwork the pizza dough. Overworking the dough will make it tough and chewy. Mix the ingredients until they just come together, then knead it for a few minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
  • Let the pizza dough rise in a warm place. This will allow the yeast to work and the dough to rise, making it light and airy.
  • Preheat the oven to a high temperature. This will help the pizza cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza. If you put too many toppings on the pizza, it will not cook evenly and the crust will become soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the pizza while it is baking to make sure it does not overcook.

Conclusion:

Quattro formaggi pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its combination of creamy cheeses, flavorful sauce, and crispy crust, it is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give quattro formaggi pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
