Ingredients

• Pizza dough for 1 pizza
• ¼ to ½ cup kitchen-ready tomatoes
• 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 15 to 20 pepperoni
• 7 to 9 sticks of string cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 tsp basil
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Cornmeal for the crust

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Heat to 425°F. Place a pizza stone in the oven if using; otherwise, prepare a sheet pan.
2. Prepare Ingredients: Mix salt, oregano, and basil. Shred cheese. Cut pepperoni into hearts using a cutter, knife, or scissors.
3. Roll Dough: Shape dough into a large circle, not too thin.
4. Stuff the Crust: Arrange string cheese in a heart shape on the dough. Cut and fold dough over cheese to enclose it, sealing tightly.
5. Add Toppings: Brush crust with olive oil. Spread tomatoes over the center, sprinkle seasoning, then add cheese and pepperoni hearts.
6. Bake: Bake 13–15 minutes or until golden and bubbly. Let rest for 2–3 minutes before slicing.

Notes

• Use this recipe as a guide—dough size can vary.
• Extra large dough may result in more crust folding—adjust based on your dough.
• A pizza stone gives best results, but a baking sheet works well too.
