Valentine Heart-Shaped Pizza and Chocolate Fondue

Valentine's Day is traditionally a family affair at our house. Nothing terribly fancy, just our standard homemade pizza shaped into a heart, some strawberries and other yummies dipped in chocolate fondue, and fruit and veggie smoothies. Maybe a game or puzzle after everything is cleaned up and the Peanuts Classic, Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.

Thin Pizza Crust in the Bread Machine
3 teaspoons yeast
¾ - 1 cup tepid water
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 ½ cups flour
Dissolve yeast in water. Add sugar, salt, and olive oil. Pour into bread machine pan. Add flour. Set bread machine on dough setting. Check dough after 5 minutes or so to see if any extra water or flour needs to be added. Yield: 2 pizza crusts.
Top and bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and golden brown.
