Atord asks:

What kind of cheese do you recommend to use?

I used the grande mozzarella cheese, but I find that it burns easily. I have heard that the best cheese is grande and Boar's Head Mozzarella cheese, but I can't find anywhere that sells it online or in the stores here.

Do you recommend baking the dough first, then put on the sauce and cheese so the cheese won't burn? Thank you for your help.

My response:

Great question.

As with everything, I recommend you use the cheese that tastes best to you.

I like to use mozzarella that is made from buffalo's milk, if I can find it.

I also like to use provolone, parmesan, gorgonzola, pecorino and asagio.

As far as pre cooking the crust: my experience is if your oven is hot enough, 500+ F, there is no need to pre bake the crust.

Temperature is critical: the hotter the better.

Also you don't want to overload your toppings on your pizza. When you make pizza, less is more...

pizza on earth,
