Heart-Shaped Pizza
Lil' Luna
Ingredients
- 1 ball of pizza dough, homemade or store-bought
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
30 pepperoni (optional)
1/4 cup pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or basil (optional)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a pizza pan with parchment paper, and set aside.
- If using pepperoni, fold each pepperoni in half and cut into heart shapes using kitchen shears. Place on a paper-towel-lined plate and microwave for 15 seconds on high. Dab any excess grease off, and set aside.
- Lightly flour a surface and roll dough into a heart shape, about 16 inches tall. Fold edges over, and press to create the crust.
- Transfer pizza dough to the prepared baking sheet. Brush with olive oil, then dock the crust with a fork to prevent bubbles from forming.
- Place in the oven and bake for 6 minutes. Remove and spread sauce over top, then add cheeses and pepperoni.
- Return to the oven and bake for 8-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the pepperoni is crispy. Remove from the oven and top with fresh parsley or basil, if desired. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting.
