- 3 cups shredded cheese such as mozzarella, cheddar, gouda, asiago, fontina - or a combination
- 2 burrata balls
- 2 cups ricotta, drained, mixed with 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 300g goat cheese (1 large log) at room temperature, mixed with 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 2 cups blue cheese, crumbled

- Baby spinach
- Corn kernels
- Cherry tomatoes, halved
- Eggplant, thinly sliced and lightly sautéed in olive oil

- Canned artichokes, roughly chopped
- Sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
- Sliced black or green olives
- Roasted garlic
Finishers
- Fresh herbs such as Italian parsley, dill, basil or oregano (optional)
- Fresh greens such as arugula or baby kale (optional)
- Dried herbs such as dried oregano, cracked black pepper or hot chilli flakes (optional)
- Chilli oil, hot sauce, honey, olive oil (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450°F
- Pour oil over the bottom of the sheet pan and brush to cover. Stretch out the relaxed pizza dough onto the sheet pan, ensuring the dough fills the whole pan. If the dough is still stubborn and not stretching out to fill the pan, give it a bit more time to rest - don’t worry, it will get there! Using a fork prick the dough all over; this will prevent the dough from forming air bubbles during baking. Bake the dough for six minutes, remove it from the oven and crank the heat up to 500°F.
- While the oven temp is climbing in temperature, top your pizza. Spread desired sauce onto the par-baked dough, cover with cheese, and top with whatever toppings you wish. If using burrata, tear the outer layer revealing the creamy curd on the inside. Distribute the torn pieces and the curd over the whole pizza. Don’t worry about over-topping your pizza - the heftiness of this pizza can handle it!
- Bake the pizza in the hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Once out of the oven, it’s time to finish the pizza. Depending on what toppings you chose, cap it off with whatever finishers feel right. Hot tip: brush the crust with honey and a sprinkling of chili flakes for a spicy sweet ending! Enjoy!
