heart shaped pizza recipe

Description
This heart-shaped pizza recipe offers a simple, family-friendly way to make everyday meals special. It guides you through shaping, topping, and baking a delicious pizza with a crispy crust and bubbly cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 lb (0.45 kg) pizza dough, store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce (low-sugar variety for healthy eating)
- 2 cups (180 g) shredded mozzarella cheese (or fresh mozzarella for a gourmet touch)
- 1–2 cups favorite toppings (e.g., bell peppers, mushrooms)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 230C (450F) with a pizza stone or heavy-duty baking steel on the upper rack for at least 30-45 minutes to ensure a crisp crust.
- Prep Dough: Gently unroll or stretch your dough into a rough 25-30 cm (10-12 inch) circle on a lightly floured surface. The dough should feel pliable and easy to work with.
- Shape Heart: Use a sharp knife or kitchen shears to make a small ‘V’ cut at the bottom center of the circle. Then, make two diagonal cuts from the top edge towards the bottom center point, rounding the edges gently to form a distinct heart shape.
- Top Pizza: Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the heart-shaped dough, leaving a small border. Layer with shredded mozzarella and your favorite toppings.
- Bake Pizza: Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto your preheated pizza stone or baking steel. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly, slightly caramelized at the edges (10-15 minutes).
Notes
Chilling the dough for 15 minutes before shaping makes it easier to handle and cut smoothly. For a speed hack, use pre-made pizza dough and pre-shredded cheese. If the crust is too dry, brush the edges with a little olive oil before baking. Ensure your oven is fully preheated for a crisp crust; a pizza stone or baking steel helps. Enhance flavor with a pinch of garlic powder or dried Italian herbs before baking.
