Heart-shaped Three Cheese Pizzas


These beauties are a hit with kids, and are perfect for Valentines Day, or really any day you want to share the love!  If your looking to spend some quality time with the kiddies too, nothing beats letting them help "shape" or "top" their pizzas!

Heart-shaped Three Cheese Pizzas 
Prepares:
Six personal pizzas

Ingredients

 1 lb. Pizza Dough
3/4 c. warm water
1 Tb. olive oil
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/4 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. yeast

Note: The dough can easily be doubled in size!

Pizza Toppings
2% Shredded Mozzerella
2% Finely Shredded Italian or Mexican Blend
Freshly Grated Parmigiano Reggiano

1 Tb. corn meal

Directions

Using a bread machine, add all ingredients for the pizza dough into the bread pan and set on the "dough-only" cycle.  This should run for approximately 90 minutes.

When finished, place the ball of dough on a lightly floured surface and divide into equal portions.  Using your hands, stretch and mold the dough into individual heart-shaped pizzas.

Place the pizzas on a baking sheet that has been sprinkled with cornmeal and top with sauce and your blend of cheeses.

Bake for approximately 8-10 minutes in a 425 degree oven and
bask in the cheers from your happy children!
