Step 1

If you’re using a pizza stone, place it on a center rack in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Step 2

Prepare the Asiago Cheese (2/3 cup) , Mozzarella Cheese (2 cups) and Parmesan Cheese (2/3 cup) .

Step 3

Sift together the All-Purpose Flour (1 1/2 cups) , Granulated Sugar (1 Tbsp) , Instant Dry Yeast (1/2 Tbsp) , and Salt (1/2 tsp) into a large bowl.

Step 4

Add Water (1/2 cup) and mix with a fork until a dough is formed. It should be slightly sticky. You may have to abandon the fork and switch to using your hands before the dough is fully formed. Let rest for a few minutes.

Step 5

Once the dough has rested for a few minutes, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Sprinkle a cutting board with corn meal or flour and transfer the crust to the board. Then spread Pizza Sauce (3/4 cup) evenly on the dough.

Step 6

Sprinkle the three cheeses evenly over the pizza: first the mozzarella, then the asiago, then the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle the Ground Black Pepper (1 tsp) over the pizza.

Step 7

Slide the oven rack with the pizza stone out of the oven, and gently transfer the pizza to the stone before sliding the rack back inside. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges of the crust are browning and the cheese is bubbly and brown.

Step 8

Slice into pieces and serve hot!
