Heart-Shaped Pizza
Add a touch of romance to your meal with a cheesy, heart-shaped pizza with grape tomatoes that’s perfect for Valentine’s Day.
Ingredient:
1 store-bought or homemade pizza dough
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
4 slices of cooked bacon, chopped
6-8 grape tomatoes, halved
1 large egg
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Olive oil, for brushing
Salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
2. Roll out the pizza dough into a large circle, then use a knife or kitchen scissors to shape it into a heart. Place the heart-shaped dough on parchment paper for easy transfer.
3. Spread tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
4. Distribute chopped bacon and grape tomato halves across the pizza.
5. Crack the egg in the center of the pizza.
6. Lightly season with salt and pepper, then brush the edges of the dough with olive oil for a golden crust.
7. Slide the pizza (with parchment paper) onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden, the cheese is bubbly, and the egg is cooked to your liking.
8. Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Slice and serve warm.
