Valentine's Day crafts

Maybe you think that you are not talented for crafting, but we assure you that our Valentine's Day picks for you are really easy to make and you will enjoy making them. You will only need some colored paper, scissors, glue and pens.











For the dough:

• 1 pkg yeast
• 1 Tbsp sugar
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 Tbsp olive oil
• 1 ¾ cup white flour
• 1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour

For the filling:

• Mozzarella cheese
• Marinara sauce
• Turkey pepperoni

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.
