Ingredients

• 1 ball Whole wheat pizza dough
• 0.5 cup No-salt-added tomato sauce
• 6 ounces Fresh tuna
• 0.5 medium Red onion
• 1 cup Low-sodium mozzarella cheese
• 1 tablespoon Capers (rinsed)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly sprinkle flour on a clean surface and roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a round shape about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled dough onto a sheet of parchment paper to make it easier to maneuver.

Step 4

Spread the no-salt-added tomato sauce evenly over the base of the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border for the crust.

Step 5

Finely slice the red onion and scatter it over the tomato sauce.

Step 6

Flake the fresh tuna into small pieces and distribute them evenly over the pizza.

Step 7

Sprinkle the low-sodium mozzarella cheese across the top, ensuring even coverage without overloading any single area.

Step 8

Add the rinsed capers on top of the cheese for bursts of flavor.

Step 9

Drizzle olive oil over the prepared pizza, and then sprinkle dried oregano and freshly cracked black pepper to taste.

Step 10

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 11

Bake for about 12-15 minutes or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 12

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.

Step 13

Garnish the pizza with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
