If you're looking for a quick, delicious, and wholesome dinner, this tuna crust pizza is about to become your lifesaver. It's a fantastic alternative to traditional pizza dough, completely gluten-free, and so easy that you only need three basic ingredients to get the crust ready.

The crust bakes up sturdy, flavorful, and ready to top with whatever you like best. I went with homemade tomato sauce, mushrooms, and king prawns, creating an incredible combination. Take note of the steps and give it a try tonight.

Prep: 15 minCook: 18 minServes: 2

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients

  • 250g light canned tuna, thoroughly drained
  • 4 XL eggs
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch

Toppings

  • Homemade tomato sauce
  • Shredded cheese
  • Sliced mushrooms
  • Baby spinach
  • Frozen king prawns
  • Chili extra virgin olive oil

Step by step

Method

  1. 1Preheat the oven to 200ºC.
  2. 2Using an immersion blender, blend the well-drained tuna with the eggs and cornstarch until you get a smooth batter.
  3. 3Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. 4Pour the batter onto the paper and shape it into a crust with the back of a spoon.
  5. 5Bake the crust for 5-8 minutes at 200ºC.
  6. 6Add your toppings. I used tomato sauce, shredded cheese, mushrooms, and baby spinach.
  7. 7Bake for about 10 minutes or until the toppings are cooked through and the crust is crisp.
  8. 8In the final few minutes, add the king prawns, which should be lightly cooked beforehand so they release any excess liquid.
  9. 9Drizzle with spicy olive oil over your TUNA CRUST PIZZA and serve.

Tips & Tricks

  1. 1Bake on the bottom rack of the oven so your pizza crust gets extra crisp.
  2. 2There's no need to turn on the broiler for this recipe.
  3. 3Don't overload it with toppings so the base stays firm and holds its shape.
  4. 4Don't add salt to the crust batter; remember canned tuna is already naturally salty.
  5. 5Let it cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing.
