How to Make a Perfect Four-Cheese Pizza in Thermomix

Pizza is, without a doubt, a fundamental pillar in the cuisine of Spain and the entire world. Although many people consider that its preparation requires a complex technique and hours of manual work, the reality is that modern technology, such as our Thermomix, allows us to bring this delicacy to the table in a simple, quick, and professional way. Cooking at home not only gives us control over the ingredients, but also transforms an everyday dinner into a comforting experience that everyone enjoys.

Preparing this four-cheese pizza with Thermomix is an easy task that, in just 45 minutes, will let you have a main course worthy of sharing. When you bite into it, you will find the perfect contrast between a thin base, with that just-right elasticity, and the explosion of flavors provided by the combination of blue cheese, mozzarella, parmesan and Emmental. It is a noble recipe, designed for two diners, which is also low in calories and rich in fiber. Continue reading to discover how to achieve an unrivaled texture.

The Basis of Success: Technique and Rest

Achieving a professional-quality pizza directly depends on dough handling and respecting fermentation times. Here we share the key points to ensure you don’t fail:

• The temperature of the liquids: by placing the water, oil, and salt in the bowl at 40 °C, we facilitate the proper activation of the yeast, which is vital for the dough to gain volume and aeration during baking.

• The importance of resting: even if there is a lot of haste, letting the dough rest for half an hour is essential; this allows the gluten to relax, making it easier to roll it out with a rolling pin without it contracting, thus obtaining a much thinner and tastier base.

• Kneading in dough mode: this specific function of your processor simulates the hands of a baker, integrating the ingredients evenly without overheating the dough, which guarantees a perfect structure.

The Balance of the Four Cheeses

The combination of cheeses is what elevates this recipe from a simple preparation to a dish full of nuances. The key here is the arrangement of the dairy products so that they melt evenly.

• The versatility of cheeses: while the blend of Emmental, blue cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella is a classic that delivers a bold flavor, remember that this recipe is a base. You can experiment with other cheeses you have at home as long as you keep the proper proportion.

• The order of assembly: start with the Emmental and finish with the mozzarella, which is the cheese that melts best and creates that elastic layer so characteristic, ensuring that all flavors meld together without burning the more delicate or strong cheeses, such as the blue.

FOUR-CHEESE PIZZA WITH THERMOMIX | RECIPE

Ingredients

• 200 grams of water

• 50 grams of oil

• 1 dessert spoon of salt

• 20 grams of fresh yeast

• 400 grams of flour

• 50 grams of Parmesan cheese

• 60 grams of mozzarella

• 50 grams of blue cheese

• 50 grams of Emmental cheese

• 2 tablespoons of fried tomato sauce

• 1 pinch of oregano

Preparation

1. Begin by gathering all the ingredients on your work surface. Place the water, oil, and salt in the Thermomix bowl and program 1 minute at 40 °C on speed 2.

2. Add the yeast to the bowl and mix for 15 seconds at speed 3.

3. Add the wheat flour and knead for 1 minute using the dough mode.

4. Remove the dough from the bowl with lightly oiled hands to prevent sticking. Shape a ball and let it rest for half an hour.

5. On a floured surface, roll out the dough with a rolling pin until it is as thin as possible and place it on a pre-greased baking tray.

6. Spread the tomato sauce over the base with circular motions and sprinkle with oregano.

7. Grate the Parmesan, mozzarella, and Emmental separately using the Thermomix; the blue cheese should be chopped by hand.

8. Distribute the filling starting with the Emmental, followed by the blue cheese, the Parmesan, and finally, cover with the mozzarella.

9. Bake in a preheated oven at 225 °C for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges look golden.

10. Let the pizza rest for a couple of minutes outside the oven before cutting into portions and serving.

As it is a low-fat recipe with a good fiber content, you will enjoy a balanced and flavorful dish. You can accompany your pizza with a touch of homemade barbecue sauce to further highlight the nuances of the cheeses. Bon appétit!
