Equipment

Ingredients

1 loaf homemade or store-bought pizza dough
½ cup pizza or marinara sauce
¾ cup sliced pepperoni
1 cup mozzarella cheese
¼ cup olive oil optional

Instructions

Using a small heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the shapes from the pepperoni slices.
Roll out the pizza dough into a large 12 inch circle and then form the dough into the shape of a heart.
Gently place the dough on top of a preheated pizza stone.
Quickly the marinara sauce on top of the dough followed by the mozzarella cheese and then arrange the heart shaped pepperoni on top.
Brush the pizza crust with olive oil if desired. It's not necessary, but it gives a nice flavor to the crust.
Place the pizza stone into a preheated 435 degree oven for about 15 minutes or until the crust is brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

Preheat the Pizza Stone:

Pizza stones need to be preheated and HOT when you place the pizza dough on top.
If you place the raw pizza dough on top of a cold pizza stone, you will not have a crisp crust.
