Ingredients
- Your favorite pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
- Your favorite pizza sauce
- Shredded mozzarella cheese or dairy-free alternative
- Sliced onions
- Black olives
- Mushrooms
- Green peppers
- Cooked chicken (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: Place the pizza dough on a cookie sheet or pizza stone and gently flatten it into a circle.
- Shape the Heart: Pinch and pull the bottom of the dough to form a point. Press your finger into the top center of the dough and adjust the sides until a heart shape forms.
- Add Toppings: Spread sauce evenly over the dough, sprinkle with cheese, and add your favorite toppings.
- Bake: Bake according to your dough instructions. A general guide is 450°F, checking at 5 minutes. The pizza is ready when the cheese melts and the crust turns golden, usually around 8–10 minutes.
- Serve: Remove from the oven, slice, and enjoy while warm.
Notes
If the dough resists shaping, let it rest for 5 minutes before trying again. Avoid overloading toppings to keep the heart shape clean and help the crust bake evenly.
