Ingredients 

For the dough

  • 160 ml (5.5 fl.oz.) water
  • 235 g (2 cups) strong white flour
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, extra virgin
  • 1 ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dry yeast

For the topping

  • 200 ml (6.5 fl.oz.) passata
  • 1 teaspoon dry basil
  • 250 g (2 ¼ cups) low-fat mozzarella, well-drained
  • 200 g (7 oz) canned tuna in sunflower oil, very well-drained
  • 1 small red onion, finely sliced
  • 30 g (1 oz) black olives, pitted

Instructions

Make the dough

  • Add all the ingredients in the bread maker in the order recommended by the manufacturer and run the "dough" cycle. Some machines have a dedicated "pizza" setting. If yours has it, use that instead.
    160 ml water
    235 g strong white flour
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 ½ tsp salt
    1 tbsp sugar
    1 tsp dry yeast
  • Alternatively, make the dough by hand by adding all the dry ingredients in a bowl, mix them well, and gradually add the olive oil and water until you have a dough that's now sticky. Leave it to prove for 1 – 1 ½ hours.

Assemble the pizza

  • Heat the oven at 230 degrees Celsius.
  • Mix the passata with the dry basil and season with salt and a pinch of black pepper.
    200 ml passata
    1 tsp dry basil
  • Roll the dough as thin as possible without tearing it. Place it on a pizza tray.
  • Spread the sauce on the pizza.
  • Add the mozzarella, torn by hand. Follow with the tuna, onion, and olives. Spread everything as evenly as you can.
    250 g low-fat mozzarella
    200 g canned tuna in sunflower oil
    1 small red onion
    30 g black olives
  • Bake for 20 minutes at 230 degrees Celsius or until the mozzarella is melted and the base is crisp.

Notes

When you roll the pizza dough very thin, it's possible to experience tearing. Finding the perfect thickness takes a bit of practice, so try again until you get it as thin as you prefer.
