Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 450°F (230°C) and place a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet on the middle rack to get nice and hot. While the oven warms up, let your dough sit at room temperature, covered, so it becomes easier to work with. Sprinkle some cornmeal on a pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet to prevent sticking, then roll out the dough into a 16-inch circle right on top. Spread a good layer of marinara sauce over the dough, then sprinkle on the mozzarella, Gouda, Jarlsberg, Parmesan, and some fresh basil leaves. Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone in the oven. Bake for about 14 to 16 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and browned to your liking. Once it’s done, let it rest for a few minutes before cutting it into six slices and serving.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to keep the cheese melty and delicious. Avoid freezing, as it may change the texture of the cheese.
