Tuna Pizza with Red Onion and Black Olives

Ingredients

• 160 ml water
• 235 g strong white flour
• 1 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp dry yeast
• 200 ml passata
• 1 tsp dry basil
• 250 g low-fat mozzarella (well-drained)
• 200 g canned tuna in sunflower oil (very well-drained)
• 1 small red onion (finely sliced)
• 30 g black olives (pitted)

Instructions

1. 1

   --- Make the dough ---

2. 2

   Add all the ingredients in the bread maker in the order recommended by the manufacturer and run the "dough" cycle. Some machines have a dedicated "pizza" setting. If yours has it, use that instead.

3. 3

   Alternatively, make the dough by hand by adding all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix them well, and gradually add the olive oil and water until you have a dough that's now sticky. Leave it to prove for 1 – 1 1/2 hours.

4. 4

   --- Assemble the pizza ---

5. 5

   Heat the oven at 230 degrees Celsius.

6. 6

   Mix the passata with the dry basil and season with salt and a pinch of black pepper.

7. 7

   Roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it. Place it on a pizza tray.

8. 8

   Spread the sauce on the pizza.

9. 9

   Add the mozzarella, torn by hand. Follow with the tuna, onion, and olives. Spread everything as evenly as you can.

10. 10

    Bake for 20 minutes at 230 degrees Celsius or until the mozzarella is melted and the base is crisp.
