Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
Main Toppings
- 150g fresh tuna (canned or fresh)
- 3 tablespoons spicy sauce (natural)
- 100g plant-based cheese, shredded
Vegetables and Herbs
- 1/4 cup diced red onions
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
Finishing Touches
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your preferred thickness, ensuring the edges are slightly thicker to hold the toppings well.
- Spread the spicy sauce (natural): Evenly coat the rolled dough with the spicy sauce (natural), creating a flavorful base that will infuse every bite with delicious heat.
- Add the tuna and toppings: Scatter chunks of tuna evenly over the sauce, then sprinkle with diced red onions and colorful bell peppers to add texture and brightness.
- Sprinkle plant-based cheese generously: Top the pizza with plenty of plant-based cheese, ensuring every slice will be creamy and indulgent once melted.
- Bake until golden and bubbly: Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 220°C (425°F) and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted to perfection.
- Finish with fresh cilantro and olive oil: Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro and a light drizzle of olive oil to add a fresh, aromatic finish.
Notes
- Preheat your oven well to ensure a crispy crust and melted cheese.
- Use good-quality tuna for noticeable flavor and texture differences.
- Do not overload the toppings to avoid soggy spots.
- Let the dough rest after rolling to prevent shrinkage while baking.
- Using a pizza stone can help distribute heat evenly for an extra crispy crust.
