Mini Heart Pizzas

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Hope you're having a great day.

It's just me and KBeaner today (curse of being with a chef..he's never home on Valentine's day, oh well he's making other people have an amazing day). I want to make today fun so the other day we made heart shaped pizzas!

We made our own pizza dough, here is the recipe for Healthy Pizza Dough...

Ingredients

  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast
  • 2 1/2-3 c unbleached white whole wheat flour. 
  • 1/4c and 3/4c warm water (divided)
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 2 TBSP non-fat plain Greek yogurt


Mix the yeast with 1/4c warm water. Set aside for 10 minutes. If you're yeast is good it should bubble and get larger.

While you're waiting for the yeast and water mixture, mix the flour and salt in a bowl, then add the non-fat plain Greek yogurt. Mix well. Add yeast and 3/4 c warm water. If your dough seems too sticky add some more flour. Kneed until dough is well mixed and elastic feeling.

Cover your dough in the bowl with a towel and set in a warm area to rise. I usually wait about an hour.

After the hour is up your dough should have doubled in size.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees, spread out your dough on oiled pizza pans and bake for 10 minutes (without toppings) after the 10 minutes are up add toppings and bake for another 10 minutes.

If you want to do shaped mini pizzas roll out your dough (I did it on the pan I would be baking on) and use cookie cutters, I then peeled off the excess dough. Once all of your hearts (or whatever shape you want) are cut out follow the instructions above.
Here's how I did the cookie cutters


Enjoy your mini heart pizzas!!!
