Instructions

Instructions:

    Preparation:

    • Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat. Alternatively, if you don’t have a pizza stone, place a large cookie sheet upside down in the oven and allow it to heat for at least 45 minutes after reaching the desired temperature.

    Prepare Dough:

    • Roll out the pizza dough thinly on a lightly floured surface.
    • Using scissors, carefully cut the dough into a symmetrical heart shape by folding it in half and cutting along the fold.

    Make Stuffed Crust:

    • Place mozzarella sticks along the edges of the heart-shaped dough.
    • Fold the excess dough over the mozzarella sticks to create a stuffed crust.

    Add Sauce and Toppings:

    • Spread marinara sauce evenly over the surface of the pizza dough.
    • Tear fresh mozzarella cheese into small pieces and scatter them over the sauce.
    • Add desired pizza toppings, such as pepperoni, bell peppers, and mushrooms, over the sauce.

    Bake the Pizza:

    • Brush the edges of the crust with olive oil and sprinkle shredded Italian cheese over the crust.
    • Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or upside-down cookie sheet in the oven.
    • Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.

    Serve:

    • Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing.
    • Garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
    • Enjoy your delicious stuffed crust heart-shaped pizza, perfect for sharing with your loved ones on any special occasion!
