Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch whole wheat pizza crust
- 0.5 cup low-fat tomato sauce
- 1 can canned tuna in water, drained
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons capers, drained
- 1 cup low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 5 fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the whole wheat pizza crust on a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Spread the low-fat tomato sauce evenly over the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
In a bowl, flake the drained tuna with a fork and distribute it evenly over the tomato sauce.
Top the pizza with thinly sliced red onion, ensuring even distribution.
Sprinkle capers over the pizza for added tangy flavor.
Evenly spread the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the top of the pizza.
Sprinkle the dried oregano and freshly ground black pepper over the pizza.
Lightly spray the top of the pizza with olive oil spray to help the cheese melt nicely and to add a bit of crispness to the crust.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the crust is crisp.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Top with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve hot.
