👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, yeast, and sugar. Add the olive oil and warm water. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
2. 2Rest: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 8-24 hours until the dough has risen and bubbles appear on the surface.
3. 3Prepare for Baking: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) with a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside. Dust your hands with flour, remove the dough from the bowl, and divide it into two portions. Shape each into a ball, cover, and let rest for 30 minutes.
4. 4Shape the Dough: On a floured surface, stretch each dough ball into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to parchment paper for easy handling.
5. 5Cook the Sauce: Combine all the ingredients of the pizza sauce in a food processor. Pour it into a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using.
6. 6Assemble the Pizza: Spread a thin layer of the pizza sauce over each stretched dough. Evenly sprinkle the parmesan, cheddar, fontina, and mozzarella cheeses over the sauce.
7. 7Bake: Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
8. 8Serve: Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and enjoy your cheesy homemade pizza!
