Perfect for a family dinner or a night with friends, this pizza will surely become everyone's favorite. Let's get started!

Ingredients for the dough:
- 500 g all-purpose flour
- 7 g dry yeast
- 300 ml warm milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

Ingredients for the topping:
- 300 g mozzarella, diced or shredded
- 150 g cheddar cheese, shredded
- 100 g parmesan, grated
- 200 g tomato sauce (can be canned or homemade)
- Spices (oregano, basil, black pepper)

Step 1: Preparing the dough
Start by dissolving the dry yeast in the warm milk, adding the sugar as well. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy. This step is essential, as the activated yeast will ensure a fluffy texture for the dough.

Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, combine the flour with the salt. Add the milk and yeast mixture along with the olive oil. Use a dough hook and knead for about 5 minutes until the dough becomes elastic and smooth. If you choose to knead by hand, make sure the dough has a uniform consistency.

Step 2: Proofing the dough
Form a ball with the dough and place it in a greased bowl. Cover it with a damp towel and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until it doubles in size.

Step 3: Preparing the toppings
While the dough is rising, you can prepare the toppings. Grate the mozzarella, cheddar, and parmesan cheese. These cheeses complement each other perfectly, providing both flavor and a creamy texture.

If you want to add an extra flavor boost, you can include spices like oregano and basil in the tomato sauce. These will enhance the flavor and add a rustic touch to your pizza.

Step 4: Assembling the pizza
After the dough has risen, sprinkle flour on the work surface and roll out the dough into a round or rectangular shape, depending on your preference. Transfer the dough to a greased or parchment-lined baking tray.

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a few millimeters at the edges. Add a generous layer of mozzarella, followed by cheddar and parmesan. Don’t hesitate to use more cheese if you like!

Step 5: Baking the pizza
Preheat the oven to 220°C. Bake the pizza for 15-20 minutes until the crust turns golden and the cheese melts and forms delicious bubbles.

Step 6: Serving
Let the pizza cool slightly, then cut it into slices. You can serve it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a few fresh basil leaves for an even more intense flavor.

Possible variations:
- You can add ingredients like mushrooms, olives, pepperoni, or bell peppers to customize the pizza to your taste.
- Substitute mozzarella with goat cheese or feta for a more sophisticated touch.

This extra cheese pizza recipe is not only simple but also a true delight for the taste buds. Whether you enjoy it with friends or in the comfort of your home, each bite will be an explosion of flavor and texture. Try it and enjoy the enticing aromas!
