1. Prepare the Dough:

• In a large bowl, combine 7 g of instant yeast with the 240 ml of warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until the yeast activates.

• Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil, salt, and roughly half of the all-purpose flour (about 150 g). Mix until a soft dough forms.

• Gradually add the remaining 150 g of flour, kneading for 5–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

2. Let it Rise:

• Grease the bowl lightly, place the dough inside, and cover it with a clean cloth.

• Allow it to rise for 1 hour in a warm area until it has doubled in size.

3. Shape the Dough into a Heart:

• After the dough has risen, place it onto a clean surface dusted lightly with flour. Roll the entire dough into a flat oval or circular shape using a rolling pin.

• To create the heart shape, use your fingers to gently pinch or pull the top center of the oval outward to form the “dip” at the top of the heart (where the two curved sections meet).

• Then press the bottom of the dough gently, shaping it into a point to form the tip of the heart.

• If necessary, for a cleaner look, use a knife to carefully trim the edges and smooth out the shape.

4. Add toppings:

• Place your heart-shaped dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a pizza stone.

• Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.

• Layer the vegan cheese onto the sauce, sprinkle the Red Star Nutritional Yeast for a cheesy flavor, and decorate with your favorite toppings.

5. Brush the Crust:

• Brush the exposed edges of the crust with olive oil for a crispy and golden finish after baking.

6. Bake:

• Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes at 230°C (450°F), or until the crust is golden and the toppings are hot and bubbly.

7. Serve and Enjoy:

• Allow the pizza to cool slightly, then serve your heart-shaped masterpiece warm. Share the love with family and friends
