How to make it:
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and preparing a large baking sheet by either greasing it or lining it with parchment paper. Next, unroll both tubes of dough and use your hands to gently stretch and shape each one into half of a large heart—feel free to get creative with the curves! Once your dough hearts are shaped, bake them for 25–30 minutes until they’re golden brown and cooked through. After baking, let them cool slightly on a wire rack for about 5 minutes.
Now, carefully slice each heart crust in half lengthwise to create a top and bottom layer. Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce evenly over each half, making sure to cover all the edges for that perfect bite. Sprinkle plenty of mozzarella cheese on top, then add your heart-shaped pepperoni slices for a fun and festive touch. Before popping them back in the oven, give them a sprinkle of Italian seasoning for extra flavor. Bake for another 10–15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni is perfectly crispy.
