Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Dough

  • 1 package refrigerated pizza dough

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini pepperoni slices or chopped regular pepperoni

Seasonings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Flour for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even baking.
  2. Roll Out Dough: Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the pizza dough to about 1/4-inch thickness to get a thin but sturdy base for your mini pizzas.
  3. Cut Heart Shapes: Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out as many pizza hearts as possible. Re-roll the scraps to make additional shapes, maximizing the dough usage.
  4. Season the Dough: Place the cut-out dough hearts on the prepared baking sheet, brush each with olive oil, and sprinkle them evenly with Italian seasoning and garlic powder for extra flavor.
  5. Add Toppings: Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each heart, spreading it lightly. Then top each one with shredded mozzarella cheese followed by mini pepperoni slices.
  6. Bake: Bake the mini pizzas for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust turns golden brown.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the mini pizzas cool slightly on a wire rack before serving to ensure the cheese sets and they are safe to eat.

Notes

  • Customize your mini pizzas by adding favorite toppings like mushrooms, olives, or cooked sausage for variety.
  • These are perfect as a Valentine’s Day lunch, a party appetizer, or a fun, kid-friendly dinner option.
