Ingredients
1 pkg yeast
1 tbsp sugar
1 cup warm water
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp olive oil
1 3/4 cup white flour
1 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
Mozzarella cheese
Marinara sauce
Turkey pepperoni

Directions
Step 1: 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.
Step 2: Roll out a small portion of the dough at a time, cutting two equal-sized hearts. Fill middle with filling, thin layer marinara sauce, turkey pepperoni, cheese, and then crimp edges with a fork. Set on baking tray. Bake at 400 for 10-15 minutes until lightly browned. Test to make sure dough is done baking. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes: The size was pretty good for the kids, and adults could eat two.  After cutting with cookie cutter, press out with fingers so it's a little bigger and quite thin.  The top layer needs to be even bigger to stretch over the filling.  I served with extra spaghetti sauce.  Maybe sprinkle top of dough with garlic salt or garlic powder for extra zip.
