Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

  • 1 pre-made pizza dough

Sauce and Cheese

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Toppings

  • Assorted toppings (pepperoni, vegetables, mushrooms, olives, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even baking and a nicely crisp crust.
  2. Prepare Dough: Roll out the pre-made pizza dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thickness. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out mini heart shapes from the dough.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce evenly over each mini heart dough piece. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously on top of the sauce.
  4. Apply Toppings: Add your favorite assorted toppings such as pepperoni, vegetables, or olives on top of the cheese for personalized flavor.
  5. Bake: Place the mini pizzas on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving warm for the best taste experience.

Notes

  • Feel free to customize the toppings based on dietary preferences or what you have on hand.
  • To prevent sticking, make sure the baking sheet is well-greased or lined with parchment paper.
  • Use a pizza stone if available for a crispier crust.
  • For a gluten-free version, substitute the pizza dough with gluten-free dough.
  • These mini pizzas can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving.
