Instructions
Roll and Cut the Dough
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to about half a centimeter thickness. Use a large heart shaped cookie cutter or a knife to cut out heart shapes, re rolling scraps as needed to get at least 20 heart pieces.
Fill the Hearts
Place one heart shaped piece of dough on a lined baking tray. Add a teaspoon of tomato sauce to the center and top with a generous pinch of shredded mozzarella. Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning over the filling.
Seal and Top
Place a second heart piece on top and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal completely. Brush the tops with beaten egg wash and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese. Repeat with all remaining dough pieces.
Bake Until Golden
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 12 to 15 minutes until the tops are golden brown and puffed. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving as the filling will be very hot inside.
