    FIVE CHEESE PIZZA

    Published: May 22, 2018 · Modified: Sep 30, 2018 by Kushi with 11 Comments . Article has 820 words. About 5 minutes to read this article.

    Five Cheese Pizza is a classic recipe prepared using marinara sauce, my favorite 5 cheeses and seasonings and fresh homemade pizza dough. Cheese pizza may sound simple to you, but with blend of cheeses it tastes just amazing. A recipe that the entire family is not only guaranteed to love but also will crave for it often.

    We love to bake pizza at home at least once a week, specially on Friday nights, from scratch. And every time we prepare it we try out different variations. Love to play around with the toppings and the crust. May be regular pizza, deep dish, double cheese, thin crust, pan pizza and what not. The only reason you are not seeing them on my blog is because my family cannot wait to grab a bite as soon as it is out. So I never get a chance to click photos. So this time I made sure I at least get a few shots even before I serve.

    And among pizzas, if you ask me which is our favorite I would say a simple plain pizza with lot of cheese 🙂  But for any pizza what matters the most is the thick, puffy and chewy crust. Don't even think that making a crust at home is waste of time or difficult. It's just like making your favorite bread, but only quicker. And when it comes to the taste and texture it is much better when compared to any restaurant or store bought pizza.

    I generally like making marinara sauce a little spicier and flavorful so I add some of my favorite seasonings. But these are totally optional. If you are adding them you can vary the amount as per your taste. I have also combined five of my favorite cheeses ( Mozzarella, Cheddar, Gouda, Provolone, and Parmesan) in the recipe. Sometimes I even add Monterey jack cheese and make it six cheese pizza but because it was not in stock I ended up making five cheese pizza tonight 🙂
