    Introduction

    I have been recently reminded that the two pizza recipes I use most often do not appear on this site. This one is for daughter #1, a four-cheese white pizza. This has a great taste with a mixture of cheeses.

    With mozzarella, white cheddar, feta, and Parmesan cheese added to butter and garlic coated crust and a little fresh tomato, and the taste is wonderful. And adding chicken is the final touch to make this one great pizza.

    Add other toppings of your choice. I always add red onion. Also here I added a farm-fresh green pepper. Bacon is a must if you have it on hand.

    My Rating

    My rating system. Great 5 out of 5

    An easy 5. I have done this at least 20 times. I could eat it for a week and still want more.

    🍕The Crust

    This pizza uses a standard thickness crust but I frequently make it will only half the dough for a thinner crust I prefer with this pizza.

    I recommend AP (all-purpose) flour or bread fluid. You can substitute up to 50% whole wheat if you want, but I think this recipe calls for a white crust.

    Non-wheat flours are probably not a good substitute in this recipe. Glutin free baking is a whole other thing and not just some substituting.

    I then brush the crust with better and garlic for some great taste.

    👨‍🍳Sauce and Toppings.

    I like using thin slices of Roma tomatoes for a little more Italian tomato-like taste.

    The chicken, which is optional, can be any cooked chicken you happen to have. This chicken is leftovers that I purposely cooked extra.

    I frequently use precooked frozen chicken strips that I buy for salads. Leftover rotisserie chicken would be excellent.

    The main feature of this recipe is the combination of cheeses, and I suggest following my suggestions. But use what you want.

    Recipe Notes

    Pro Tips:

    1. This is for a standard thickness 16-inch crust. You can make it thin crust by cutting in half.
    2. A 12-inch round pizza is ½ the size of a 16-inch. Note- we are talking square inches.
    3. The dough needs to be a bit light, so will be a little sticky.
    4. The chicken is pre-cooked leftovers from wherever you want it.
    5. I don't recommend changing the cheeses much. It is the feature of this recipe.
    6. For more crust options see Basic Homemade Pizza Dough

    To adjust the recipe size:

    You may adjust the number of servings in this recipe card under servings. This does the math for the ingredients for you. BUT it does NOT adjust the text of the instructions. So you need to do that yourself.

      Dude, that looks wicked good! Alexis and I enjoy white pizza as our favorite but use alfredo based sauce. The 4 cheeses that you use bring a lot of taste to the pizza and I'll be giving this a try soon. Bookmarked this post.
