Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of your choice (pepperoni, mushrooms, olives, etc.)
- Optional: Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the pizza dough into a large circle.
- Carefully shape the dough into a heart shape. You can do this by making a small indentation at the top for the ‘point’ of the heart and then curving the sides outwards.
- Transfer the heart-shaped dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
- Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Add your favorite toppings.
- Bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
Notes
- For a crispier crust, bake the dough for a few minutes before adding toppings.
- Get creative with your toppings to personalize the pizza.
- Consider making mini heart-shaped pizzas for a fun appetizer.
