- 7 grams of dry baker’s yeast
- 125 milliliters of Water

How to make Heart Shaped Pizza:
- Before starting with the preparation of the Valentine’s recipe, we present the ingredients that we are going to need.
- To start preparing the homemade pizza dough, we put the flour in a large bowl, which allows us to knead well in the first phases of making the dough. In the center we make a small volcano.
- In a quarter of the warm water that our easy pizza dough will require, we dissolve the dry yeast.
- Add the water with the yeast and begin to mix. Then little by little we add the rest of the water.
- We knead with our hands until we achieve homemade dough that is firm and elastic. Now add the olive oil and continue kneading, now on the slightly floured work table.
- We love for approximately another 15 minutes and then let it lightly covered with a hot cloth. After 30 minutes, we knead again and leave the homemade pizza dough for 3 hours in the refrigerator.
- On baking paper with a little flour we spread the doughuntil it is very thin.
- Cut the dough in the shape of a heart. We can add the rest of the dough to make a rim filled with cheese or, as in our case, save it to make mini pizzas one day.
- Chop the vegetables for our heart-shaped vegetable pizza. Remember that the ingredients of the homemade pizza are to taste, so you can modify them at will.
- We do the same with the ham cooked without salt.
- We spread the surface and the edges of the pizza in the shape of a heart with barbecue sauce and ketchup. We have put half and half, according to the tastes of each one.
- Place the cooked ham on the dough with the sauces and then the vegetables.
- Finally, we finish arranging the vegetables and sprinkle plentyof low-salt cheese. If you like spices, add the oregano, if not, it’s just as tasty. We heat the oven to 180 degrees and bake the pizza for Valentine’s Day.
- After about half an hour we will have a delicious light and very crunchy heart-shaped pizza. We always use the rack to make the pizzas, because the heat is better dispersed on both sides.
