Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 5 ounces Canned tuna in olive oil
- 1 cup Tomato sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Black olives, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- to taste Salt
- to taste Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Brush the dough with one tablespoon of olive oil and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with dried oregano, salt, and black pepper to taste.
Carefully take the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and place the rolled-out dough onto it.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the base of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Drain the canned tuna, then flake it with a fork. Distribute the flaked tuna evenly over the tomato sauce.
Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the tuna layer.
Arrange the red onion, red bell pepper, black olives, and capers evenly over the cheese.
Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy your homemade tuna pizza!
