MINI HEART PIZZAS

I made these little pizzas last night for some of my favorite kiddos, while their parents were out celebrating the love holiday. They turned out so cute and we were able to make them from scratch, even while entertaining a 6 and 1 year old. So that means if I can make cute little pizzas, you can too!

You'll need:


- 1 or 2 boxes of Jiffy Pizza Dough mix (yes, that same brand that makes the cornbread mix :)
- Mozerella Cheese (they make it so easy, with the pre-shredded and pizza variety)
- Pizza Sauce (I love Trader Joe's)
- Pepperoni (we found these cute teeny tiny ones at the store)&
- other toppings of your choice, but we just used cheese and pepperoni because that's what these kids liked
- a big heart shaped cookie cutter

How to:


1) Heat the oven to 425
2) Follow the directions on the dough box — you just combine water and dough mix together and let sit for 5 min.
3) Knead the dough for a few seconds on a cutting board, but be sure to use lots of flour because the dough can get sticky
4) Flatten the dough out so it's about 1/4" thick or less (anymore than 1/4" and it's too thick to cook through)
5) Using your cookie cutter, cut out heart shapes
6) Place your dough hearts on a cookie sheet that's been sprayed with non-stick spray (or use a silpat — that's what I used)
7) Pre-cook dough for 2-3 min.
8) Take dough out and add toppings — sauce, cheese, pepperoni, etc
9) Pop mini pizzas back in the oven for about 12 more min. or until dough is golden brown and cheese is melted

Enjoy!
