Tonno e Cipolla Pizza

Ingredients

Pizza dough

1 lb, store-bought or homemade

Tomato sauce

1 cup, preferably homemade or quality store-bought

Canned tuna

1 can (6 oz), drained

Red onion

1 medium, thinly sliced

Mozzarella cheese

2 cups, shredded

Olive oil

2 tablespoons

Salt

to taste

Black pepper

to taste

Fresh basil

a handful, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to your desired thickness, making sure it's slightly larger than the pizza stone or baking sheet you will use.
3. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or preheated pizza stone, ensuring it maintains its shape.
4. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
5. Evenly distribute the drained tuna over the sauce. Follow with the sliced red onion and sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Drizzle olive oil over the toppings and season generously with salt and black pepper to enhance the flavors.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped basil before slicing.
9. Slice and serve hot, enjoying the rich flavors of this Italian classic.
