- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2- 2 cups mozzarella cheese; shredded
- Pepperoni;l as many as you prefer
- 2 tsp. olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly dust with flour.
- To make your heart shaped pizza dough, roll pizza dough out to form about a 12-14 inch round crust on a floured surface. Shape the dough into a round circle. With a pair of clean scissors, cut a line down the center about 4 inches deep. Form a heart shape with your hands and then transfer to prepared baking sheet.
- Spread pesto and pizza sauce evenly on top of pizza dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top and then add desired amount of pepperoni.
- Brush the crust with olive oil and bake for 8-12 minutes according to your pizza dough instructions. The pizza crust should be a lightly golden brown color and the cheese will bubble. Let cool for a few minutes, then cut into desired pieces and enjoy!
