Pizza with 4 cheeses

Pizza with 4 cheeses

This is a really tasty pizza with 4 different Norwegian cheeses. Here you can experiment with cheeses you like. If you want a milder version, the blue cheese can be replaced with something milder, such as brie or red kit cheese.

4 small pizzas

BOTTOM

560 g wheat flour
350 ml of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
1 tablespoon of oil
1 pk dry yeast, possibly 25 g fresh yeast
Semolina (if you fry on a stone)

The bottom is best if you use the pizza stone when you bake. To prevent the base from sticking, use a little semolina under the dough.

FILL

1 can canned chopped tomatoes
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons of oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground pepper

1 of these cheeses per pizza (or mix in:

40 gr Fønix blue cheese from Stavanger Ysteri
30 gr grated Young Fana cheese from Ostegården
30 gr Bufar (as Parmesan flakes) from Valdresost
40 gr grated Cheddar from Thorbjørnsrud

Fresh basil and cherry tomatoes

This is what you do:

Stir the yeast together with lukewarm water and sugar, and add the oil. Mix together salt and flour. You may need more flour than indicated in the recipe. The dough should be flexible and easy to work with. Divide the dough into 4 parts and roll them into large balls. Leave them in a warm place for 20 minutes. Remember to cover the top so that the dough does not dry out. Set the oven to 250 degrees.

Gently push the dough out until it has become a circle. The trick here is to keep the crust whole, so that you get a good crust after frying. Put some semolina under the pizza if you use the pizza stone to prevent it from sticking.

Mix the ingredients in the tomato sauce and spread on the pizzas. Top with your 4 different cheeses. Bake for 6-10 minutes, in the middle of the oven. Add tomatoes and basil when it's done, and grate Bufarost over with a cheese grater before serving.

For a more prominent flavor of the cheeses, you can also make the pizzas as white pizzas. Replace tomato sauce with Creme Fraiche.

If you want to try your hand at a dessert pizza, you can make it with pear, nuts and blue cheese and use honey as a topping.
