Homemade heart shaped pizzas ❤️

Posted 1 week ago

Choose to cook one, or all three pizza options!

To celebrate this Valentine's we've got the perfect recipes to take your pizza nights to the next level! 

Let's roll out the dough and get cooking 🍕

What you will need - this is for all 3 pizzas:

  • A4 piece of paper
  • Scissors
  • Pencil/ pen
  • Baking paper
  • Baking tray
  • Rolling pin
  • Knife
  • Fork
  • Measuring jug
  • Pastry brush

Classic pizza 

Ingredients:

  • Pizza dough (we bought the pizza express ready to roll dough) x2 packets to make 3 pizzas in total
  • Carton of passata
  • Mozzarella
  • Pepperoni/ chorizo
  • Mixed herb seasoning
  • Garlic
  • Salt to taste
  • Flour

Steps to take:

  1. Dust your space with a sprinkle of flour - this is so the dough doesn't stick to the surface
  2. Cut the dough in half so there is roughly 200g for each half
  3. Take 1 half, spread the dough out and use a rolling pin to stretch the dough further
  4. Using the baking paper heart stencil, using a knife cut the pizza dough to the heart shape
  5. Once your dough is now in the shape of a heart, press the edges of the dough for a thick crust
  6. For the sauce, add 60ml of your tomato sauce to a measuring jug
  7. Add a sprinkle of mixed herbs
  8. Take 3 garlic cloves, crush them with a knife and chop them into small pieces
  9. Add a pinch of salt and mix together
  10. Spoon your sauce onto your heart shaped pizza dough and make sure there is an even layer
  11. Sprinkle your mozzarella on top (as much as you would like!)
  12. Add your chorizo/ pepperoni slices (or any toppings of your choice)
  13. Put your dough onto your baking tray lined with baking paper
  14. Put it in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes

Your classic Valentine's Day pizza is ready!

  • Chocolate spread/ Nutella
  • Marshmallows
  • Strawberries

Steps to take:

  1. Follow the first step from the above pizza recipe
  2. Using a fork, poke holes in your dough (this prevents air bubbles when baking)

  4. Put your dough onto your baking tray lined with baking paper
  5. Now pop it in the oven at 200 degrees for 15 minutes
