Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • 1 pound pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni or chopped toppings (optional)

Seasoning and Others

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Flour (for dusting)
  • Cornmeal (optional, for baking sheet)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Oven and Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly sprinkle it with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  2. Roll and Cut the Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter or a knife to cut out small heart-shaped pizzas from the dough.
  3. Arrange and Season: Place the dough hearts on the prepared baking sheet. Brush each heart lightly with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with Italian seasoning.
  4. Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce over each heart-shaped dough piece. Then, add a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella cheese and your choice of mini pepperoni or other toppings.
  5. Bake the Pizzas: Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy warm, bite-sized heart-shaped pizzas.
