Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking the mini pizzas.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it is evenly thin, suitable for mini pizzas.
  3. Cut Dough Shapes: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out mini heart shapes from the rolled dough to create the pizza bases.
  4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the heart-shaped dough pieces evenly on a lined baking sheet to prevent sticking during baking.
  5. Add Sauce: Spread a small amount of pizza sauce evenly on top of each dough heart to form the base layer of flavor.
  6. Top with Cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on the sauced dough hearts for that classic cheesy texture and taste.
  7. Add Pepperoni: Place sliced pepperoni or your preferred toppings on top of the cheese for added flavor and variety.
  8. Season and Oil: Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning to enhance the flavor and help the crust crisp.
  9. Bake: Bake the mini pizzas in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your heart-shaped mini pizzas warm!

Notes

  • Add vegetables like olives or bell peppers for added color and taste variety.
