Ingredients

• 1 ball (approximately 12 inches) Whole wheat pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 5 ounces Canned tuna in olive oil (drained)
• 0.5 medium Red onion (thinly sliced)
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes (halved)
• 0.25 cup Kalamata olives (pitted and sliced)
• 1 handful Baby spinach (fresh)
• 0.5 cup Crumbled feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

Lightly dust a flat work surface with whole wheat flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.

Step 3

Brush 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the surface of the dough, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper together, then sprinkle this mixture over the oiled dough.

Step 5

Evenly distribute the baby spinach leaves across the dough as the first layer.

Step 6

Add the slices of red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and Kalamata olives on top of the spinach.

Step 7

Flake the drained canned tuna evenly over the pizza, ensuring it is spread out across the toppings.

Step 8

Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the tuna and vegetables.

Step 9

If you enjoy a slight kick, sprinkle a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes over the toppings (optional).

Step 10

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 11

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the toppings are lightly browned.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil over the top for added flavor.

Step 13

Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve immediately and enjoy your Mediterranean Diet Tuna Pizza!
