# Instructions:
01 -
Mix sugar, yeast, and warm water in a bowl. Let it rest for a few minutes until it turns bubbly and frothy.
02 -
Combine olive oil, salt, and the yeast mixture into a large bowl of flour. Knead it for about 5-7 minutes until your dough feels soft and elastic. Cover it with a towel and leave it for an hour.
03 -
Heat crushed tomatoes with garlic powder, oregano, sugar, a little salt, and pepper in a small pot. Simmer for 10 minutes to bring out all the flavors.
04 -
Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and use heart-shaped cutters to create mini pizza bases. Arrange them on a baking tray.
05 -
Spread some sauce over each mini base, add a generous layer of mozzarella, and finish with pepperoni or any toppings you feel like.
06 -
Pop the tray into the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden and the cheese is all melty and bubbly.
