Step 1: Make the Dough

1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
2. Mix the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
4. Let the Dough Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce

1. Combine the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3: Shape the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and line a large baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the dough into a large circle, about 12 inches in diameter. Use a sharp knife or kitchen scissors to trim the edges into a heart shape. Save any scraps to make mini heart-shaped breadsticks.

Step 4: Assemble the Pizza

1. Spread a thin, even layer of sauce over the heart-shaped dough, leaving about ½ inch around the edges for the crust.
2. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
3. Add your toppings, such as pepperoni or vegetables, arranging them creatively to enhance the heart shape.

Step 5: Bake the Pizza

1. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
2. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
