- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) while the dough is rising.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a heart shape on a floured surface.
- Gently transfer the heart-shaped dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Brush the crust with a mixture of melted butter, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
- Spread pizza sauce on the dough, sprinkle with mozzarella, fresh basil, halved cherry tomatoes, and pepperoni if using.
- Bake the pizza in the oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling.
