A quick and easy way to celebrate loved ones, yourself, or the craving you have inside for pizza can be met with this easy and delicious recipe of homemade pizza.

Every year, February 14th rolls around, and singles and couples alike have trouble deciding what to do for dinner. Sit home and cry most singles say, while couples debate the fanciest restaurant, when they could be making these adorable pizzas.

This quick and easy recipe should be able to woo all those wondering what to do for that special dinner. Taking about 30 minutes to make if you are in a rush and skip the dough rising step.

The steps are easy and straightforward to follow, and even the shakiest of chefs would be able to complete this recipe and make it taste like a million dollars.

Recipe:

1 package of Trader Joe’s plain pre-made pizza dough

1 jar of marinara sauce

1 bag of mozzarella cheese (sub non-dairy)

1 bag of pepperoni slices (optional)

Pan lubricant (olive oil, canola oil spray, butter)

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. (suggested) Take the pizza dough out of the bag and place on the counter for 30 minutes at room temperature. The dough should rise.
  3. Once the dough has risen, roll the dough out. Take a heart shape cookie cutter (large one) and cut the dough into hearts.
  4. Place pizza hearts on pan that has been sprayed or buttered to chef’s liking. Top as generously as you wish with the toppings.
  5. Bake the pizzas in the oven for 20 minutes, checking occasionally.
