– 1 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
– 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons chopped parsley or basil, optional
Instructions:
1 Preheat your oven to 450F 232C and line a pizza pan with parchment paper. Set it aside.
2 Take each slice of pepperoni and fold it in half; then use kitchen shears to cut them into cute little heart shapes. Place the hearts on a paper towel-lined plate and microwave for about 15 seconds on high. Dab off any excess grease and set them aside.
3 Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the dough into a lovely heart shape thats approximately 16 inches tall. Fold the edges over to form the crust and press down gently. Transfer this delightful dough onto your prepared baking sheet.
4 Brush the top of the dough with olive oil, then dock the crust using a fork to prevent any bubbles from forming during baking.

6 Return everything back into the oven and bake for another eight to twelve minutes or until you see that beautiful golden brown crust emerging along with crispy pepperoni edges!
7 Once done, take it out of the oven and add fresh parsley or basil if you like an extra touch of flavor Let it sit for five minutes before slicing up that love-filled creation!
