Easy to politicize this thread - as it's common knowledge that you righties don't know anything about cheese!

"pizza cheese", pre-grated? *shudder*

No way! This is the garbage of the industrial cheese production.

Fresh Edamer and Leerdamer/Maasdamer are a must - not too much of the latter, as they have a strong taste of their own. This is why Mozzarella is good also, it leaves room to get the taste of the other components.

Also cherry tomatoes are overrated and overpriced - you get the same, spicy taste from good sorts, which are today mostly only available from organic farmers who cultivate the good, old real tomatoes, not the Holland crap. I mix them with canned tomatoes which are much better than tomato pulp.

Thanks for the dough recipe - sounds very good, nothing to criticize here I will definitely have to try it out!
