Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup No salt added tomato sauce
- 1 can (5 ounces) Low sodium canned tuna
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (low sodium)
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. If you like a crispy crust, aim for a thinner roll.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread the no salt added tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Drain the low sodium tuna and flake it into small pieces. Distribute the tuna evenly over the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese on top of the tuna, ensuring even coverage.
Add the thinly sliced red onions and cherry tomato halves to the pizza, spreading them out evenly.
Drizzle the olive oil over the toppings and sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper for added flavor.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Slice the pizza into pieces, serve, and enjoy your flavorful Low Sodium Tuna Pizza!
