Things To Grab
- Pizza stone
- Hy-Vee canola oil cooking spray
- 1¾-in.-wide heart-shape cookie cutter
- Parchment paper
- Rolling pin
- Spoon
- Butter knife
Directions
Cut mozzarella and pepperoni slices into hearts using a 1¾-in.-wide heart-shape cookie cutter; set aside.
To cut pizza crust dough into a heart shape, unroll dough onto a lightly floured sheet of parchment paper. Roll dough into a 12-in. square. Rotate parchment so bottom-corner point of dough is facing you. For the left-rounded top of the heart shape, start at the left corner and cut an arch, stopping in the center of the dough below the top corner. For right-rounded top of the heart shape, start at the right corner and cut an arch, stopping in center. Remove and discard top piece of dough.
Roll parchment paper and dough around a rolling pin. Turn rolling pin so dough is facing pizza stone. Gently unroll dough onto pizza stone. Gently remove parchment paper.
Spread pizza sauce to within ¼ in. of dough edge. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning. Top with pizza cheese. Then top with mozzarella hearts, pepperoni hearts, onion and sweet pepper slices.
Bake for 15 to 16 minutes or until crust is golden brown. If desired, use a butter knife to reshape mozzarella hearts. Garnish with fresh basil. Serve with Parmesan, if desired.
