Quattro Formaggi

Base Sauce Creation
  • Turn oven to 210° and slide those stones in
  • Prepare flour, scraper, space and water before you're hands become like a doughman's
  • 600g farina 00
  • 30g or so compressed yeast, mashed into 300g water
  • Squidge the wet into the dry without much trickling onto the floor
  • Split into two balls, cut the traditional cross ontop of each, and leave in damp warm to rise
  • This will make two fat or three thin pizzas
  • 250g per pizza's about right
  • Melt together and reduce, stirring constantly:
    • 2/3 of a pottle of heavy cream
    • minced garlic
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • salt and pepper
  • Remove from heat
  • Stir in some sage
  • Roll out pizza
  • Sprinkle polenta on heated pizza stone and place rolled out pizza on it. Slippery - do not slide it onto floor.
  • Spread on the sauce, then add the ingredients in isolated dolops - no homogeneity allowed
    • Mozzarella
    • Finger-crumbled Gorgonzola (piccante)
    • Provolone and/or Fontina cheeses
    • Dabs of real tomato sauce
    • Thin Sopresa salami's great too
  • Chuck back in oven and remember to remove before burnt
