The preparation of this pizza brings back memories of the narrow streets of Rome, the warm wind and the wonderful smell from the nearby small cafe. Well, not memories, because in Rome, not everyone was. But the Italian delicious food and its aroma can not be confused with anything. And if you suddenly wanted to feel the warmth of the Mediterranean coast, then pizza with tuna according to the Italian recipe will be pampered with warm impressions.

Some features

Of course, every pizza starts with a dough. What else does the taste of this favorite dish first of all depend on? It is high time to learn how to make a batter unleavened, as it is rolled in pizzerias. But why without them? But because the Italians themselves almost always do this. Of course, different dough is prepared for the dish "Pizza with tuna", for example, a classic dough on water or kefir. Someone will add sour cream or butter, and the dough will turn crispy. With cottage cheese it will become simply melting in the mouth, and if you put a bit of a potato stew, then it does not stale for a long time.

Rules for making delicious pizza

Pizza with tuna is baking not too complicated. But before you build a dough, you need to provide something:

• Flour must be of superior quality, from hard wheat varieties.
• Stir dough should be in warm rooms, avoiding draft.
• When baking the main thing - do not overdo it, 15 minutes in the oven is enough, if it was pre-heated to one hundred and eighty degrees. Otherwise, the pizza will turn out to be "wooden".

And yet: it is quite convenient that the pre-made dough can be put in the freezer. When you need to cook, it will always be at hand.

The dough for pizza without yeast is thin. Recipe

We need: 2 cups of sifted "hard" flour, half a glass of warm, 30 degrees, milk, 2 eggs, a little salt, a few spoons of lean oil (it's best to take olive, but you can also do the other).

1. Heat the heated milk together with eggs and butter with a mixer (so the process accelerates). Mix flour and salt in a separate bowl. In the loose mixture it is necessary to make a small funnel and gradually pour in the resulting liquid, gradually mixing the dough for pizza without yeast (thin). The recipe, as we see, is quite simple in execution.
2. Next, the kneading is done manually: until in the skillful handles there is a smooth ball of elastic dough. After 10 minutes, cover this mass with a slightly damp towel or cotton napkin.
3. The resulting dough is rolled into thin round cakes. Everything, you can start filling the dish with stuffing.

Option for sour cream

We need: a couple of glasses of durum wheat flour, one glass of fatty sour cream (you can replace it with a store, but the fat content should be at least 20%), a piece of butter, two eggs, a little soda of food.

1. We beat eggs and salt in the bowl.
2. In another dish, mix sour cream with soda.
3. We put all the ingredients together.
4. Add the melted butter (in a microwave, on a water bath - anyway) to the total mass.
5. Little by little we start to introduce flour, mixing our dough with sour cream in deep dishes with hands. Step by step it becomes softer and supple. In the finale, let him lie 10 minutes and roll into thin cakes.

Yeast pizza

The basis can also be prepared using yeast. It's as easy as it is without them. We need: a couple glasses of flour, fifty grams of fresh yeast (you can replace it with a sachet of dry ones), 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 lukewarm water.
2. Knead the dough by hand until elasticity. Then we put already ready again in a bowl, we cover with a towel and we leave in heat approximately for an hour.
3. During this time, the dough rises. We divide it into two parts and knead it. And after rolling into thin layers (thickness less than 1 centimeter), we put it on a baking tray and grease it with lean oil. Our yeast pizza has a base!

What's next?

Well, the dough is ready for us. How is pizza with tuna cooked in the future? The recipe for its preparation is very easy! Take: tomato paste in the amount of a couple of large spoons (you can and neutral ketchup), mozzarella cheese - one hundred grams, any cheese of soft varieties - 50 grams, a can of canned tuna in your own juice, a jar of olives, a pair of fresh tomatoes.

1. Lubricate the dough with tomato paste or ketchup (you can add a little Italian dried herbs there).
2. We remove the tuna from the jar and mash it with a fork, and evenly spread it over the base. From above add half rings of red onions. In principle, at this stage, you can add other ingredients. For example, olives and slices of fresh tomatoes.
3. Cheese mozzarella slightly squeezed and tear into pieces. They need to be evenly distributed over the base.
4. On top, sprinkle some more cheese shabby, any soft variety.
5. We put the food in a heated oven and bake for 10 minutes. It is good to use a blower if it is in the oven. Pizza with tuna is ready!

More about stuffing

Fried tuna as a filling also has the right to exist. It's simple: all other ingredients will be used, as in the previous recipe. The basis is chosen to taste: yeast or without yeast. But the main stuffing is already prepared in a different way.

1. Before roasting fresh tuna fillets must be marinated. If the ingredients of your marinade include soy sauce, fish - do not salt. Otherwise, rub the pieces with salt and a little pepper.
2. Then tuna fry in hot red oil (3 minutes from each side) to gold. Pieces should be cut no thicker than 3 cm, so that the fish is perfectly steamed.
3. Readiness is determined by puncturing a piece with a fork: if it slightly exfoliates, and inside it is pinkish, then the fried tuna is ready. We remove the fish from the frying pan, let it cool down and use it as an excellent filling for pizza.

Bon Appetit!
