Here's a fresh take on the ingredients for our heart-shaped pizza:
- 1 pound of ready-made pizza dough
- 1/2 cup of zesty pizza sauce
- 3/4 cup of gooey shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup of tangy shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup of savory crumbled cooked sausage
- A handful of pepperoni slices, or as much as you desire
Here's a fresh approach to the directions for making our heart-shaped pizza:
- Allow the pizza dough to reach room temperature, which usually takes about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to a toasty 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
- Now, let's get creative with the dough! Divide it into two pieces, with one slightly smaller than the other. Take the larger piece and flatten it into a square shape. As for the smaller piece, roll it out into a circle and then cut it in half.
- Grab a teaspoon of oil and generously brush it onto your pizza stone. Next, position the square-shaped dough on the pizza stone, making sure one corner is pointing downwards.
- Now, here comes the fun part! Take one of the half-circle dough pieces and line it up along the upper left edge of the square. Do the same with the other half-circle, but this time, position it along the upper right edge. Press the seams together to join them.
- Spread your favorite pizza sauce over the dough, leaving about half an inch from the edges. Then, sprinkle on the shredded cheese, followed by the crumbled sausage and pepperoni.
- Pop the pizza into the preheated oven and bake it until the cheese is melted and the crust turns a beautiful golden brown. This usually takes about 17 to 19 minutes.
- Once it's done baking, let the pizza rest for about 3 minutes before slicing it up and serving. Enjoy your delicious heart-shaped creation!
