Making the Four Cheese Pizza at home requires few ingredients. But the difficulty lies in the fact that not all types of cheese are easy to buy in Russian stores. Therefore, variability is possible when preparing pizza. For example, Parmesan cheese can be replaced with any hard cheese such as Dutch or Tilsiter, and mozzarella can be replaced with Suluguni, Adyghe or ricotta cheese. Instead of Dorblue, you can take any cheese with a blue mold (gornozola, Roquefort), and replace the fontina cheese with Italian provolone, Swiss Gruyere or another cheese of your choice with a fat content of at least 40%.
