If you are having a hard time trying to decide what food to make on Valentine’s Day, this would be perfect. It would make an excellent lunch idea!
This recipe uses the standard Fathead dough recipe with a few minor tweaks.
If I had to rank this on a scale of one to ten on the recipe difficultly schedule it would rank about a 4. The dough is the most time consuming part and it requires you to melt the cheese in the microwave. If you don’t like to use a microwave, then this makes it that much harder because you will need to melt it very slowly over the stove top.
I usually get about 9 large pepperoni pizza roses out of this recipe because I shape the dough in a rectangle shape and cut out 1 inch dough strips to make the roses. The amount of roses you get will depend on how you shape the dough, how thick the dough is, and how thick you cut the dough strips.

- Knead the dough until all the ingredients come together and it’s nice and smooth
- Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough as thin as it will go into a rectangle shape. Once the dough cools it will hold it’s place better.
