Instructions:
-
Prepare the Pizza Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and sugar.
- Dissolve the yeast in warm water and allow it to sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
- Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
-
Preheat the Arteflame Grill:
- Set up your Arteflame Grill with the pizza oven attachment.
- Preheat the pizza oven, aiming for 500°F+ (260°C) – perfect for pizza baking.
-
Prepare the Toppings:
- In a bowl, combine the grated mozzarella, fontina, gorgonzola, and Parmesan cheeses.
-
Assemble the Pizza:
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal parts (for two pizzas).
- On a floured surface, roll out one piece of dough into a 12-inch circle.
- Lightly flour a pizza peel and transfer the rolled dough onto it.
- Evenly spread the mixed cheeses over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top.
-
Bake the Pizza:
- Slide the pizza from the peel onto the Arteflame Pizza Oven.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Repeat with the second piece of dough.
- NOTE: move the charcoal / wood away from directly under the pizza oven. This way the toppings cook equally fast as the crust.
-
Serve:
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice, and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Dough Ahead: The pizza dough can be made a day in advance and kept in the refrigerator overnight for even better flavor development.
- Cheese Variations: Feel free to experiment with different proportions or types of cheese to suit your taste.
