QUATTRO FORMAGGI PIZZA - FOUR CHEESE

Steps:

• First, put the flour, salt and yeast in a bowl making sure to put the salt and yeast at opposite sides.
• Make a well in the centre and add the water and olive oil. Mix it together until a rough dough forms. If it's too sticky you can gradually add a little more flour.
• Dust a clean work surface with a little flour and knead the dough for around 10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. If you lightly press your finger on the ball of dough it should spring back up easily.
• Add 1/2 tbsp of olive oil to a large clean bowl and rub all over until the bowl is coated. Shape the dough into a ball and place in the bowl, rub the top of the dough with a tiny amount of olive oil.
• Cover with plastic wrap (cling film) and leave in a warm place for at least 3-4 hours or until tripled in size.
• Pre-heat the oven to your highest setting at least 450F/230C and add your baking trays to heat up.
• Cut the dough into 2 or 4 depending on how big you'd like them then either roll out on a lightly floured surface with a rolling pin or shape with your hands to fit your baking tray.
• Remove the baking tray from the oven and sprinkle with semolina or flour. Carefully place the pizza dough on top.
• Spread the pizza base evenly with tomato sauce and sprinkle with even amounts of cheese. Bake until melted, bubbling and golden (around 10-15 minutes).

PIZZA QUATTRO FORMAGGI

Steps:

• DOUGH
• Add the flour and the dry baker's yeast to a large bowl - mix them together so they brewer's yeast is evenly dispersed in the flour.
• Meanwhile, dissolve the malt in warm water, add it to the bowl with the flour, together with olive oil and salt.
• Knead by hand until you get a smooth dough.
• Place the dough in a greased bowl, then cover it with cling film and store it in a warm spot for 3-4 hours, or until tripled in volume.
• Once risen, divide the dough in half, shape each half in a ball, roll them out into discs on a floured surface, then place each in a non-stick tray and let them rise for another hour.
• TOPPING
• Once an hour has passed, sprinkle the pizza base with the four cheeses and black pepper.
• Bake in a 250°C/480°F oven, with the grill option turned on, for 15 minutes, until the pizza's edges are golden and its bottom dry.
• Once baked, serve immediately.

PASTA AI QUATTRO FORMAGGI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil.
• Add the butter to a large skillet over medium heat and add the mushrooms and garlic. Cook until browned, about 5 minutes, then add the wine and cook until evaporated.
• Meanwhile, add the pasta to the boiling water and cook according to the package directions, leaning toward the al dente side. Do not overcook; this will take 1 to 2 minutes!
• Add the cream to the skillet with the mushrooms. Drain the pasta (reserving some of the pasta water) and add the pasta to the mushrooms, along with the fontina, Parmesan, Romano, goat cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Stir gently to combine, adding hot pasta water as needed for consistency. Don't overmix; if there are little clumps of cheese here and there, it's fine! Taste and add more salt if needed. The mixing stage should happen very quickly.
• Turn the pasta out into a large serving bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
