- The pizza became too oily.
- Oil from tinned tuna soaks the dough. Squeeze the oil out in a sieve before use, or use the version in brine.
- The tuna became dry.
- Tuna fibres dry out in the oven. It is worth putting it under the cheese, or mixing slightly with tomato sauce so it stays moist.
Frutti di Mare pizza with tuna
Tuna pizza (Pizza al Tonno) is a classic often paired with onions, but here it forms a 'mare e mare' (sea and sea) composition with seafood. The intense, meaty taste of tinned tuna provides a stable base, while the sweetness of prawns lightens it. The key is the quality of the tuna and thorough draining of the oil.

Instructions
1
✓
Preheat the oven to 230°C. Place tuna in a sieve and squeeze out the liquid. Clean the prawns.
Tip: Excess moisture is the enemy of pizza. 'Dry' topping results in crispy dough.
2
✓
Roll out the dough, spread with sauce, sprinkle with mozzarella.
Tip: Cheese serves as a protective layer here too.
3
✓
Crumble the tuna on top in larger chunks, and distribute the prawns. Sprinkle with crushed garlic and oregano.
Tip: Do not shred the tuna too much or it will become mushy. Rustic pieces look better and have better texture.
4
✓
Drizzle with a little oil. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
Tip: If the tuna was in brine, olive oil restores its succulence.
5
✓
After baking, drizzle with lemon juice.
Tip: The eternal friendship of lemon and fish applies here too.
