Ingredients
  

  • 1 package instant yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 2 1/3 cups flour plus more for dusting the counter
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon basil
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus more to coat
  • 1 cup pizza sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Pepperoni cut into hearts (optional)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Whisk to combine. Allow to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • Add in the flour, salt, garlic powder, basil, and 2 tablespoons of EVOO. Mix into a shaggy dough by spoon and then knead gently to form a cohesive ball by hand.
  • Coat the top of the dough ball with an additional drizzle of EVOO. Cover the bowl loosely with plastic wrap and allow to set until double in size — about 1 hour.
  • Once ready to assemble, preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
  • Coat the counter with a thin layer of flour. Divide the dough in half or thirds, if desired. Roll gently and use your hands to shape into a heart. Shape the dough until it is about half an inch in thickness.
  • Using a pastry brush, spread additional EVOO over the very edges of the pizza.
  • Use a fork to stab the dough several times across the entire surface of the pizza to prevent big air bubbles.
  • Spread a thick layer of pizza sauce over each pizza.
