🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- First off, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the pizza cooks evenly and that crust gets nice and crispy! Don't skip this, trust me.
- Grab your baking sheet and give it a light greasing with olive oil. This prevents the pizza from sticking and helps achieve a beautifully golden crust. I always use a pastry brush to make sure it's even.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the drained tuna with a fork. We want it broken up nicely so it spreads evenly on the pizza. Nobody wants a mouthful of just tuna in one bite!
- Add the tomato sauce to the mashed tuna and mix well. This creates our flavorful pizza base. A little bit of oregano goes a long way here too, if you have it.
- Now, unroll your pizza dough on the greased baking sheet. Gently stretch it out to fit the sheet. If you're using homemade dough, just roll it out to your desired thickness.
- Spread the tuna and tomato mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust. This keeps things tidy and allows the crust to rise nicely.
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella cheese evenly over the tuna and tomato base. Cheese is key! Don’t be shy with it.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on it, ovens vary!
- Once its done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. This makes it easier to slice and handle.
- Finally, slice the pizza with a pizza cutter or a sharp knife, serve, and enjoy! A sprinkle of fresh basil is a nice touch if you're feeling fancy!
📝 Notes
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
- Try adding sliced black olives for extra flavor.
- Use a pizza stone for an extra crispy crust.
