An easy and flavorful cheese pizza that does well on its own, or if you prefer, a great base for toppings.
This pizza crust is quick and easy to make, with minimal raising time and few ingredients. For the toppings, I love nothing more than a good cheese pizza, but I know many feel it's just the base for meats, mushrooms, onions, olives, peppers, and the like. Jazz this up however you want, or leave it simple and perfect as a cheese pizza.

Step 1
If you’re using a pizza stone, place it on a center rack in a cold oven. Preheat oven to 450°F. Sift together flour, yeast, sugar, and salt into a large bowl.
Step 2
Add water and mix with a fork until a dough is formed. You may have to abandon the fork and switch to using your hands before a dough is fully formed.
Step 3
Dough should be slightly sticky. Knead lightly on a floured surface for about five minutes. Form dough into a ball and cover with a damp cloth while you prepare the rest of your pizza ingredients.
Step 4
Grate all cheeses and grind black pepper.
Step 5
Once the dough has rested for a few minutes, roll it out on a floured surface until it is about 1/4″ thick. Sprinkle a cutting board with corn meal and transfer the crust to the board.
Step 6
Spread pizza sauce evenly across the surface of the dough, leaving about 1/2″ of space around the edges.
Step 7
Sprinkle the three cheeses evenly over the pizza: first the mozzarella, then the asiago, then the parmesan. Finally, sprinkle the pepper over the pizza.
Step 8
Slide the oven rack with the pizza stone out of the oven, and gently transfer the pizza to the stone before sliding the rack back inside. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the edges of the crust are browning and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Carefully remove the pizza stone from the oven and slide the pizza onto a cutting board. Slice into pieces and serve hot.
