Ingredients
- 1 pizza base
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 1 cup sweetcorn, drained
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- Oregano for seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the middle for even cooking.
- Take the pizza base and place it on a clean baking sheet or pizza stone. If using a pre-made base, ensure it's at room temperature.
- Spread the pizza sauce evenly across the base, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Drain the canned tuna thoroughly, using a colander or strainer. Pat the tuna dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- Drain the sweetcorn kernels and pat them dry to prevent excess liquid on the pizza.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the pizza sauce.
- Distribute the drained tuna across the pizza, breaking it into small flakes for even coverage.
- Scatter the sweetcorn kernels over the tuna, ensuring an even distribution.
- Sprinkle dried oregano over the top for additional flavor.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden, and the crust is crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing.
- Cut into slices and serve hot. Optional: Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
Tips
- • For the crispiest crust, use a pizza stone or pre-heat your baking sheet in the oven before placing the pizza on it. • Drain the tuna and sweetcorn thoroughly to prevent a soggy pizza base – moisture is the enemy of a crisp crust! • Don't overload the pizza – a light, even distribution of toppings ensures every bite is perfectly balanced. • For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil before serving. • If you're using fresh tuna instead of canned, lightly sear it first for an extra depth of flavor. • Let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to allow the cheese to set and make slicing easier. • Experiment with additional herbs like fresh basil or a touch of dried thyme to customize your pizza's flavor profile.
