  2. Roll out the dough into a large circle (~12 inches).
  3. Use a knife or scissors to cut a small notch at the top, then pull and shape the bottom into a point to create a heart shape.

3️⃣ Add Toppings

  1. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
  2. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  3. Add pepperoni (or other toppings) in a decorative pattern.
  4. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and Parmesan cheese.
