Ingredients:
16 oz. dough ball (14″ pan)
4 oz. garlic butter sauce
1.5 oz. Galbani Grated Parmesan Cheese
1.5 oz. Galbani Professionale Crumbled Blue Cheese
2 oz. Galbani Cheddar/Monterey Jack Blend
1 oz. Black Diamond Grand Reserve Cheddar
6 oz. Galbani Premio Shredded Mozzarella & Provolone 50/50 Blend
2 oz. Galbani Ricotta Fresh Basil (chiffonade)
Directions:
Spread your dough out in a 14″ pan. Press the edges into the wall to create a crimp. Next, add your garlic butter sauce and brush evenly across the crust, then dust with your Galbani Parmesan cheese. Add your Galbani Blue, Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses, making sure they all reach to the edge of your pie. Add your 50/50 Galbani Mozz/provolone blend and place in your oven.
Bake at 550° for about 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted to perfection. After the pie is baked, cut your pizza, then dust with a little more grated Parmesan. Pipe on some of your cool ricotta, then top with your chiffonade basil, and THAT….is your Ultimate Cheese Pizza.
