Ingredients

Scale

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

Prepare the Dough: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until ¼ inch thick. Cut into heart shapes using a cookie cutter.
Add the Sauce: Place dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce on each pizza, leaving a small border.
Add Toppings: Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, followed by your desired toppings. Get creative with colorful vegetables and meats!
Bake: Brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
Serve: Let the mini pizzas cool for a minute before serving. Arrange them on a platter for a festive presentation.

Notes

Use Room Temperature Dough: If using refrigerated dough, let it come to room temperature before rolling out to prevent shrinking.
Don’t Overload the Toppings: Too many toppings can make the pizza soggy. Stick to a few key ingredients for the best balance.
Use Fresh Herbs: After baking, sprinkle with fresh basil or arugula for added flavor and color.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes.
