# Instructions:

Mix sugar, warm water, and yeast in a small bowl. Leave it for around 5 minutes until it gets bubbly and active.

Stir together salt and flour in a large mixing bowl. Add in the yeast mixture and olive oil, kneading for 5-7 minutes till smooth dough forms. Cover it and let it rest for an hour in a cozy spot.
03 -
Combine crushed tomatoes, oregano, sugar, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in your saucepan. Heat it gently for 10 minutes so the flavors come together.
04 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll your dough flat, then use heart-shaped cutters to create mini pizza bases. Put them on your baking tray.

Spoon the pizza sauce onto each heart, toss on a handful of mozzarella, and finish with pepperoni slices or other topping combos you like.

Slide the pizzas into the hot oven for 8-10 minutes. They're done when the cheese melts and the edges turn golden.
