How to Make a Heart Shaped Pizza

Gals and guys – do it from the heart. Make a heart-shaped
pizza for your sweetie (or even for your kids). It's easy,
it's fun, and you'll be appreciated for the extra effort you
put into it. It's a big hit for Valentine's Day and a small
amount of effort will go a long way. Here's what to do.

!! Ingredients !!

* Pizza dough

* Pizza toppings

!! Steps !!

Make or purchase pizza dough. If purchasing it, follow the
instructions accompanying the dough for mixing it. Usually dough
that comes in a box will tell you to place the flour mixture into a
bowl, put in the right amount of warm water, stir, cover, and set
aside for a short amount of time. If making it from scratch, read

In addition, obtain pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and any toppings
you'd like.

Knead the dough. Follow the instructions on the packet or in the
recipe as to length of kneading time. Toss it if you know how; this
can be part of the romance!

Create the heart shape. Once you've kneaded it to a smooth
consistency, here's where your fabulous unique imagination will
come into play to mold this dough into a beautiful heart.

* Roll out the pizza to form a circle.

* Pinch in the dough at one place to draw it down into the distinct
heart shape, with two rounded edges and a dip. Alternatively, use
a sharp knife to cut the angle into the dough and remove the dough
piece.

Shape the base to appear pointed, for the end of the heart.

Spread on the pizza sauce.

This is easiest to do with the back of a large spoon.

Tumble on your favorite toppings. It's really up to you what
toppings you add; be sure to add toppings that the person for whom
this is intended will like. Some ideas include:

Just tomato.

Plain tomato and cheese.

Pepperoni.

Greens.

Shrimp, bacon, and artichoke hearts.

Mushroom and cheese.

Place in the oven at the temperature suggested by the recipe
suitable for your dough and chosen toppings, usually around 160ºC
or 320ºF degrees for 15 to 25 minutes. Keep an eye on it, don't
let it burn.

Remove it from the oven when baked. Hold it up and take a picture
of it because the next thing that will happen is that it gets
eaten.

Present it to your favorite person. Eat, laugh, be happy.
