Tuna Pizza is one of the easiest fish pizza recipes to make. Usually canned tuna in its own juice is sold in jars with convenient packaging (150-180 gr) - just for one pizza. It is worth making sure that the tuna in the jar is in whole pieces, and not minced meat or tuna in tomato sauce.

Pizza, which has become very widespread all over the world, has long gone beyond the "real Italian" pizza, and has become the most beloved and international dish in the world. Its popularity is due primarily to ease of manufacture, and an endless variety of cooking options. Various types of pizza that exist in world cuisines, although different from Italian ones, will not be less tasty. Regional and local pizzas often take into account the peculiarities of the local range of products, the tastes of the inhabitants, and even the peculiarities of local religious views.

In Israel, pizza chains offer kosher pizza options. Japanese pizza "okonomiyaki" - fried flatbread with seafood and vegetables. In any pizzeria in the world you will be offered "classic" pizzas - or pizza with sausage. But be sure to pizza will be seasoned with local flavor and author's imagination. Any Italian will tell you that real pizza is only found in Italy, and will give you the address of the same pizzeria, which usually belongs to him or his friends.

If you are a fish lover, then you will surely like pizza with tuna, tomatoes and olives, with soft mozzarella cheese. I really like this pizza, and I love it when there are a lot of tomatoes and tuna. However, tuna fish is not cheap, and we sometimes make a similar one.

Tuna (lat. Thunnus), despite the fact that it is a very large fish, is essentially mackerel, mackerel. The whole life of a tuna is a continuous movement. In California, at The Monterey Bay Aquarium, a large shoal of tuna continuously cut circles in deep blue water. A bewitching spectacle.

Tuna meat is widely used in food, I think that the record holder is Japan, where you can buy tuna almost anywhere. So, making tuna pizza using canned tuna in its own juice is never difficult. It is important that there are fresh tomatoes and fresh mozzarella.

Pizza with tuna. Step by step recipe

Ingredients (pizza 34 cm)

  • Pizza dough 400 gr
  • Tuna 1 jar
  • Mozzarella 100 gr
  • Tomatoes 2 pcs
  • Basil, parsley, dill 2-3 branches
  • Olive oil 2 tbsp. l.
  • Tomato sauce 2-3 tbsp. l.
  • Parmesan 1 tbsp. l.
  • Green olives 10-12 pcs
  • Oregano to taste
  1. Prepare the dough - yeast-free, or yeast according to the recipe, which we have long taken as a basis and pizza always turns out perfectly with us. After the dough has risen, knead and stretch it into a cake 5-7 mm thick. Put the dough on the form, after lightly greasing it with olive oil. Be sure to prick the dough with a fork in several places. If you like pizza on a thin and slightly crispy dough, you can lay out the filling right away. If you want pizza with tuna to be on a more fluffy and soft dough, you need to cover the dough on the form with a napkin and let it stand in a warm place for 15-30 minutes so that it rises additionally.

    Put the dough on the form

  2. Prepare all ingredients for topping (filling). An important ingredient for tuna pizza is tomato sauce. Quite often, pizzerias use ketchup from a bag or tomato paste. Should not be doing that. If you didn’t have time to prepare in the summer, just take 2-3 ripe tomatoes (in the most extreme case, half a glass of homemade tomato juice). Remove seeds, skin and growing area from tomatoes. Grind the tomato pulp to a puree state, add a pinch of salt, pepper and nutmeg on the tip of a knife. Pour mixture into skillet with 1 tbsp. l. olive oil and simmer the sauce until desired thickness.

  3. Open the can of tuna and drain the liquid. Divide the tuna meat with your fingers into large, but thin pieces. Tomatoes for pizza with tuna can not be peeled and peeled. But, if you wish, scald the tomatoes with boiling water and remove the skin from them. Remove seeds. Slice the tomatoes into thin slices. Strictly speaking, the amount of tomatoes is up to your taste. For example, I really like the taste of tuna with lots of tomatoes. But, you can do without tomatoes altogether, limiting yourself to tomato sauce.

  4. Cut pitted green olives in half lengthwise. Remove all leaves from the greens. Drain the liquid from the mozzarella and cut it into very thin slices of any size. Grate Parmesan.
  5. Lubricate the dough on the form with tomato sauce. Sprinkle with a pinch of dry oregano.

  9. Lay out the green olive halves. Actually, if the olives are not the largest, you can leave them whole by removing the stone, if any. Sprinkle the pizza again with a pinch of dry oregano and drizzle with olive oil.

  10. And finally, sprinkle Parmesan pizza with tuna, trying to distribute most of it along the side, and less in the middle of the pizza.
  11. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and put the pizza dish to bake. Each oven bakes differently, so you need to focus on a baking time of 20 minutes. Tuna pizza does not contain anything in the filling that requires heat treatment, so you need to focus on the readiness of the dough. As soon as the dough starts to brown on the bottom, the tuna pizza is ready.

Pizza with tuna and sausage

A variant of a family pizza that can satisfy the culinary preferences of all family members is an assorted pizza, the filling of which differs in that it contains both meat and fish ingredients: sausage and canned tuna.

You can add some canned gherkins to the filling for such a pizza. Their taste and aroma will add piquancy to the dish and complement the taste of olives.

Mushrooms also win over advantageously and give a special exquisite taste to the sausage half.

The original Italian pizza is different in that it almost always contains mozzarella cheese. In order not to break traditions, you can use a mixture of cheeses: take half of any hard cheese and half mozzarella.

The mood of the dish

Cooking a real pizza brings back memories of the narrow streets of Rome, the warm wind and the wonderful smell from a nearby small cafe. Well, not memories, because not everyone has been to Rome. But Italian delicious food and its aroma cannot be confused with anything. And if you suddenly want to feel the warmth of the Mediterranean coast, then pizza with tuna according to the Italian recipe will pamper you with warm impressions. It is incredibly easy to prepare, but the result will be amazing!

Some Features

Of course, every pizza starts with a dough. What else does the taste of this favorite dish depend on in the first place? It is high time to learn how to make yeast-free dough, as it is rolled in pizzerias. But why without them? And because the Italians themselves almost always do this. Of course, different dough is being prepared for the Tuna Pizza dish, for example, the classic dough on water or kefir. Someone will add sour cream or butter, and the dough will turn out crispy. With cottage cheese, it will simply melt in your mouth, and if you put a little potato puree, then it will not go stale for a long time.

Rules for making delicious pizza

Tuna pizza is a pastry that is not too complicated. But before you build the dough, you need to provide something:

  • Flour must be of the highest grade, from durum wheat varieties.
  • It is necessary to knead the dough in warm rooms, avoiding drafts.
  • When baking, the main thing is not to overdo it, 15 minutes in the oven is enough if it was preheated to one hundred and eighty degrees. Otherwise, the pizza will turn out "wooden".

And one more thing: it is quite convenient that the dough made in advance can be put in the freezer. When you need to cook, it will always be at hand.

Pizza dough without yeast is thin. Recipe

We will need: 2 cups of sifted “hard” flour, half a cup of warm, 30 degrees, milk, 2 eggs, a little salt, a few tablespoons of vegetable oil (it is best to take olive oil, but you can do something else).

  1. Beat the heated milk together with eggs and butter with a mixer (this speeds up the process). Mix flour and salt in a separate bowl. In a loose mixture, it is necessary to make a small funnel and gradually pour the resulting liquid into it, kneading (thin) little by little. The recipe, as you can see, is quite simple to execute.
  2. Further, we already knead by hand: until there is a smooth ball of elastic dough in skillful hands. After 10 minutes, cover this mass with a slightly damp towel or cotton napkin.
  3. Roll out the resulting dough into thin rounded cakes. Everything, you can start filling the dish with stuffing.

Sour cream test

We will need: a couple of glasses of durum wheat flour, one glass of fatty homemade sour cream (can be replaced with a store-bought one, but the fat content should be at least 20%), a piece of butter, two eggs, a bit of baking soda.


yeast pizza

The base can also be prepared using yeast. It's as easy to do it as it is without them. We will need: a couple of glasses of flour, fifty grams of fresh yeast (can be replaced with a dry bag), a spoonful of sugar and salt, half a glass of olive oil, warm water.

  1. In a spacious bowl, mix the yeast and flour, salt and sugar, oil and water diluted with warm water.
  2. Knead the dough by hand until elastic. Then we put the already prepared again in a bowl, cover with a towel and leave it warm for about an hour.
  3. During this time, the dough will rise. We divide it into two parts and crush it. And then roll out into thin layers (thickness less than 1 centimeter), put on a baking sheet and grease with vegetable oil. Our yeast pizza has a base!

What's next?

Well, our dough is ready. How is tuna pizza prepared in the future? Its recipe is very easy! It is taken: tomato paste in the amount of a couple of large spoons (neutral ketchup is also possible), mozzarella cheese - one hundred grams, any soft cheese - 50 grams, a jar in its own juice, a jar of olives, a couple of fresh tomatoes.

  1. Lubricate the dough with tomato paste or ketchup (you can add a little Italian dried herbs there).
  2. We take the tuna from the jar and knead it with a fork, evenly spread it over the base. Add half rings of red onion on top. In principle, other ingredients can be added at this stage. For example, olives and slices of fresh tomatoes.
  3. Squeeze the mozzarella cheese lightly and tear into pieces. They need to be evenly distributed over the base.
  4. Sprinkle some more grated cheese, any soft variety, on top.
  5. We put the dish in an oven heated to 180 and bake for 10 minutes. It is good to use airflow if it is available in the oven. Tuna pizza is ready!

More about stuffing

Fried tuna as a filling also has a right to exist. It's simple: we will use all other ingredients, as in the previous recipe. We choose the basis to taste: yeast or without yeast. But we prepare the main filling in a different way.

  1. Before frying, fresh tuna fillet must be marinated. If soy sauce is included in the ingredients of your marinade, do not salt the fish. Otherwise, rub the pieces with salt and a little pepper.
  2. Then fry the tuna in hot vegetable oil (3 minutes on each side) until golden. Pieces should be cut no thicker than 3 cm, so that the fish is perfectly steamed.
  3. Readiness is determined by piercing a piece with a fork: if it is slightly stratified, and inside it is pinkish, then the fried tuna is ready. Remove the fish from the pan, let cool and use as an excellent
