Resumo para quem tem pressa

"The four-cheese pizza combines the smoothness of mozzarella, the spicy touch of gorgonzola, the richness of parmesan cheese, and the creaminess of catupiry-type requeijão. This composition over tomato sauce requires balanced distribution so that the different cheeses melt harmoniously. In the oven preheated to 220°C for 15 minutes, the dairy products melt until they form a bubbly and golden topping. Seasoned with oregano and olive oil, it results in a substantial and practical meal for four servings."

Chef Tips

- Distribute the catupiry in small spaced spoonfuls to avoid overwhelming individual slices. - Do not add salt to the assembly, as the parmesan and gorgonzola already concentrate a lot of salt content. - Let it rest for 3 minutes before cutting so the liquid cheeses firm up for slicing.

Variations

- Com nozes: adicione pedacinhos de nozes sobre o gorgonzola para acrescentar contraste crocante. - Pizza branca: monte os quatro queijos diretamente sobre a massa pincelada com azeite, sem tomate. - Com alho-poró: salpique fatias finas de alho-poró cru sobre a mussarela antes de levar ao forno.

Substitutions

- Gorgonzola cheese can be swapped for medium-cured blue cheese or cubed brie cheese. - The Catupiry cheese can be replaced with coarsely grated smoked provolone cheese. - The ready-made pizza dough can be swapped for fresh homemade dough rolled thin on the baking sheet.

How to Store

Store remaining slices in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 180°C for 8 minutes or in a skillet with a lid over low heat to melt the cheeses without burning the base.

Can You Freeze It?

We do not recommend freezing it assembled raw due to the presence of catupiry, which loses its texture. Freeze already baked slices wrapped in plastic wrap for up to 30 days at minus 18°C.

What to Serve With

Present on a round wooden board, slicing into 8 triangular pieces. Sprinkle crumbled dried oregano between your fingers and serve immediately with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to prevent the four cheeses from releasing too much liquid on the pizza?

Use freshly grated mozzarella instead of wet slices and drain the excess whey if using fresh cheeses. Spread only half a cup of well-reduced tomato sauce over the dough base.

Why should pizza rest for a few minutes before being sliced?

Cheeses melted at 220°C become excessively liquid in the first moments out of the oven. This brief rest allows the fat and milk solids to stabilize, making clean cutting easier.

Can I replace the gorgonzola cheese with another milder cheese?

Yes, if you prefer a less spicy profile, gorgonzola can be replaced by gouda cheese, estepe cheese, or emmental cheese in small cubes maintaining the same yield.

Qual a melhor técnica para assar massa de pizza pronta no forno a gás?

Pré-aqueça o forno na temperatura máxima (220°C a 250°C) por 15 minutos e posicione a assadeira de pizza na grade mais baixa para que o calor inferior asse a massa antes que os queijos queimem.
