For the dough:
- 1 pkg yeast
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 Tbsp olive oil

- 1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour
For the filling:
- Mozzarella cheese

Combine yeast, sugar and warm water and let set for 5 minutes. Mix remaining ingredients and then add yeast mixture. Let dough rise, in a warm place, for about 1-2 hours, until double in size.
Roll out a small portion of the dough at a time, cutting two equal sized hearts. Fill middle with a thin layer of marinara sauce, turkey pepperoni, and cheese and then layer the top with another heart and crimp the edges together with a fork. If you wish you can add some other ingredients into the filling too. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. Test to make sure dough is done baking.
