Grab an A4 paper, fold it in half, and cut out a heart shape. Keep trimming until you've got a perfect heart that'll fit your pizza size

Heat your oven to 400°F (220°C). Roll out your pizza dough to about 1/4 inch thick if needed. Place your paper heart on top and cut around it with a sharp knife or pizza cutter. You should get about 6 hearts from your dough

Pop these lovely hearts in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 12 minutes

Make sure your dough is at room temperature for easier shaping
