# Ingredients:

→ Dough

01 - 3 tablespoons cornmeal
02 - 2½ cups of flour (all-purpose)
03 - 1 teaspoon table salt
04 - 2 tablespoons of any vegetable oil
05 - 1 scant teaspoon sugar
06 - 1 cup water, warm (not hot!)

08 - 1⅓ cups shredded mozzarella
09 - 12 slices of pepperoni
10 - ⅔ cup pizza-style tomato sauce

→ Garlic Butter

11 - 4 tablespoons of butter, melted
12 - powdered garlic as much as you'd like

# Instructions:

01 - Combine the sugar and yeast with warm water in a bowl. Wait for 5 minutes until it's bubbly on top.
02 - Add oil and salt to the yeast mixture. Slowly stir in flour, knead the mixture into a soft ball. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
03 - Cut dough into 4 equal parts. Roll each into a round sheet, then mold into heart shapes on parchment sprinkled with cornmeal. Poke a few holes with a fork.
04 - Spread sauce over each heart, follow with mozzarella and pepperoni slices.
05 - At 450°F, bake them for 12-15 minutes until the crust has a nice golden look. Right after they come out, brush the edges with that melted buttery garlic!

# Notes:

01 - Fun to do for Valentine's Day!
02 - Use any toppings you prefer.
03 - That garlic butter? Totally worth it.
