Ingredients

Scale

Pizza Base

1 pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)

Buffalo Sauce

2 tablespoons hot sauce (natural)
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon natural gelling agent

Tuna Topping

200g tuna steak or canned tuna, drained
1 tablespoon buffalo seasoning mix (natural)
100g smoked turkey bacon
100g plant-based cheese
1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Garnishes

2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped

Instructions

Prepare the Buffalo Sauce: In a small saucepan, combine the hot sauce (natural), vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, and natural gelling agent. Heat gently while whisking until the sauce slightly thickens and becomes vibrant in flavor.
Season the Tuna: Cut the tuna into bite-sized pieces and toss with the buffalo seasoning mix (natural). Let it marinate briefly to absorb the spices while keeping the fresh taste of tuna.
Cook the Turkey Bacon: Fry the smoked turkey bacon in a hot pan until it is crispy, adding a smoky crunch that complements the pizza’s spicy elements.
Assemble the Pizza: Roll out the pizza dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Spread the prepared buffalo sauce evenly over the surface. Evenly distribute the seasoned tuna pieces and crispy turkey bacon on top. Sprinkle generously with plant-based cheese to ensure a melty and gooey finish.
Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F) and bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and top with freshly sliced green onions and chopped cilantro or parsley for a fresh, vibrant finishing touch.

Notes

Use room temperature tuna to ensure even cooking and better flavor absorption.
Crisping the turkey bacon first helps prevent sogginess and adds texture contrast.
Balance toppings to avoid overloading, which keeps the crust crisp and perfectly cooked.
Preheat your baking surface, such as a pizza stone or tray, to achieve a crispy base.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce and buffalo seasoning to control the spice level to your preference.
