Ingredients
- 1 lb Pizza dough
- 2 cans Canned tuna (drained)
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Red onion (thinly sliced)
- 2 tbsp Fresh basil (chopped)
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven as it preheats.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a stone.
Step 3
Brush the olive oil lightly over the dough, ensuring even coverage, and then spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the canned tuna, mayonnaise, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix until the tuna is well-coated and creamy.
Step 5
Spread the tuna mixture evenly over the tomato sauce layer.
Step 6
Top the tuna with the thinly sliced red onions, followed by an even layer of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses.
Step 7
Sprinkle the fresh basil over the cheese for added freshness and flavor.
Step 8
Carefully transfer the pizza to the oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Step 9
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into wedges and serve while hot.
