✨ Sensory Profile

"A tapestry of textures ranging from the flakey, oceanic depth of tuna to the succulent, savory bite of seasoned ground meat. The aroma is dominated by the earthy scent of baked thyme and the golden, bubbling richness of melted mozzarella across a crisp crust."

Chef's Mastery

💡

The Secret

Thoroughly pat the tuna and sliced tomatoes dry with paper towels before assembly to ensure the crust remains perfectly crisp and doesn't become soggy.

⚠️

Avoid This

Overcrowding the sections with too many toppings, which can lead to uneven cooking and a middle that sags when sliced.

❄️

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days; for best results, reheat in a hot skillet or air fryer to revive the crust's crunch.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a baking tray or pizza pan and place the pizza dough on it.

Using the back of a knife or a spatula, gently mark the surface of the dough into four equal sections without cutting through.

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the entire dough, then sprinkle the dried thyme evenly on top.

Top the first section with the shredded cooked chicken, spreading it evenly.

Add the drained and flaked tuna to the second section.

Spoon the cooked ground meat over the third section, distributing it gently.

Arrange the sliced tomatoes and onions over the fourth section.

Sprinkle the grated cheese evenly over the entire pizza, covering all four sections.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and lightly golden and the crust is cooked through. Slice along the sections and serve hot.
