Description

Celebrate with these fun and easy Mini Heart-Shaped Pizzas, perfect for family gatherings or special occasions.


Ingredients

  • 1 package pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
  • ½ cup pizza sauce (or marinara sauce)
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Assorted toppings: pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, olives, etc.
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Dried oregano (optional, for seasoning)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the rack in the middle.
  2. Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until ¼ inch thick. Keep the dough moving to prevent sticking.
  3. Cut into heart shapes using a cookie cutter. Press firmly for clean edges.
  4. Place the dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them to allow puffing.
  5. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each pizza, leaving a small border.
  6. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by your desired toppings.
  7. Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil.
  8. Sprinkle a pinch of dried oregano over the tops if desired.
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
  10. Let the mini pizzas cool for a minute before serving.

Notes

Customize toppings based on your preferences. Pair with a green salad or quick pickled cucumbers.
