Valentine Pizzas
For a boost of authentic flavor, add a sprinkle of finely chopped fresh basil when the pizzas come out of the oven.
1 can (10 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust dough
*
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
*
1/2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms (about 3 ounces)
*
1/3 cup chopped green bell pepper (1/2 small)
*
2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
*
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Serves 4
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Coat a large baking sheet lightly with cooking spray. Unroll pizza crust dough on work surface; cut into 4 equal pieces. Place dough pieces 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheet.
2. Cut a 1-inch slit in center of one short edge of each dough piece. Shape each into a 6- x 6-inch heart shape. Pinch dough to form rim around edge. Bake crusts until edges are light golden, about 5 minutes.
3. Remove crusts from oven. Spread pizza sauce on crusts. Top with mushrooms, bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake pizzas until crust edges are golden and cheese is melted, 7-9 minutes longer.
