Four Cheese Pizza
This Four Cheese Pizza combines mozzarella, fontina, Parmesan and buttermilk in a yeasted dough made entirely in the Thermomix. The TM7 warms the yeast mixture to the ideal activation point and kneads the bread flour into a silky, elastic base, ready for a generous cheesy topping that bubbles into a golden, gooey finish.
About this recipe
Four Cheese Pizza Thermomix TM7 is the ultimate homemade pizza recipe for anyone who loves a deeply savoury, meltingly gooey cheese topping on a crisp yet airy base. Instead of buying a ready-made pizza, this all-in-one kitchen machine prepares the yeasted dough from scratch: the TM7 warms the water, sugar and dried instant yeast to exactly the right activation point, then blends in buttermilk, strong bread flour and sea salt before kneading everything into a smooth, elastic dough that rises beautifully. While the dough proves, you simply grate and scatter mozzarella, fontina and Parmesan for that signature four cheese depth. This pizza works brilliantly as a quick weeknight dinner, a relaxed weekend family meal or a festive sharing centrepiece when friends come over. The contrast between the tangy buttermilk crust and the rich, bubbling cheese blend makes every slice taste like it came from an Italian wood-fired oven, yet the TM7 does all the heavy work for you.
Preparation tips
- Grease the proving bowl generously with oil before adding the dough, as instructed, so the pizza base releases easily and stays intact when you turn it out for shaping and topping.
- Let the assembled pizza rest briefly before slicing so the melted fontina and mozzarella set slightly; this keeps the four cheese layer from sliding off the buttermilk-enriched crust when cut.
- For a deeper flavour, use freshly grated Parmesan rather than pre-packaged, and tear the mozzarella by hand so it melts in rustic pools rather than drying out during baking.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-conscious version: replace the buttermilk with a plant-based yogurt drink and swap the mozzarella and fontina for lactose-free melting cheeses, keeping the Parmesan-style hard cheese for savoury depth.
- Festive Italian variant: add crumbled gorgonzola as the fourth cheese instead of extra fontina, finish with a drizzle of honey and fresh rocket after baking for a sweet-salty party pizza.
