Why a trio of cheeses? Fontina for its melting quality and nutty flavor, Gorgonzola for its biting blue punch, and Parmigiano-Reggiano for its uncanny ability to amplify other cheeses.

Cooks' note:

Dough can rise slowly, covered, in the refrigerator for 1 day. Bring to room temperature before using.
