1-Getting started with heart shaped mini pizzas: First, prepare the dough by mixing 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1/2 cup warm water, 1 tsp active dry yeast, salt, and a dash of olive oil. Knead until smooth, then let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour until it’s doubled in size.

2-Next: preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and get your toppings ready, like slicing veggies or shredding cheese. Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick, then use a 3-inch heart cookie cutter to shape the mini pizzas.

3-Place the cut dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on each one, and add shredded mozzarella cheese along with fresh basil. Top with 3 to 4 mini pepperoni slices or your preferred options, then bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese bubbles and the crust turns golden.

4-Right after baking, add 3 mini mozzarella heart slices cut with the 1/2-inch cutter to each pizza the residual heat will melt them just enough. Let everything cool completely before serving to avoid any hot surprises from the sauce.
