Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

  2. 2

    On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch (30 cm) round. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet or a floured pizza peel if using a pizza stone.

  3. 3

    Spread the tomato passata or pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border for the crust.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

  5. 5

    Scatter the flaked tuna, capers, and thinly sliced red onion over the cheese.

  6. 6

    Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with dried oregano. Season lightly with salt and black pepper.

  7. 7

    Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a minute or two. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired, slice, and serve hot.
