How to Make Five Cheese Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Prepare your favorite pizza dough (about 12 ounces).
  3. Brush the prepared dough with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. Evenly distribute the cheeses over the oiled dough: 1/2 cup shredded smoked Gouda, 1 cup shredded mozzarella, 1/2 cup shredded fontina.
  5. Arrange sliced fresh tomatoes (about 1 cup sliced) over the cheeses, spacing them about 1 inch apart, avoiding overlap.
  6. Top with 4 ounces of fresh buffalo mozzarella, torn into small pieces, followed by 1/4 cup shaved Romano cheese.
  7. Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the cheese is bubbly and melted (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  8. Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle generously with fresh basil leaves.
  9. Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
