a little more complex

Knead flour, yeast, salt, water, and olive oil into an elastic dough and let it rise for about 30 minutes. Roll it out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper (don’t be afraid—the dough is enough—it only takes a moment). Spread the chopped tomatoes (or seasonal fresh tomatoes, deseeded and diced) on top, gently crushing larger pieces with a spoon. Season with salt, pepper, thyme, and chili flakes. Spread the tuna evenly. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes (thinly sliced), olives (halved or quartered), and onions, followed by the buffalo mozzarella (thinly sliced, not too thickly). Bake in a preheated oven at 225 degrees Celsius for about 20 minutes. Then scatter the basil leaves on top and drizzle with the tuna oil. Bake for about 5 minutes. The temperature and exact baking time depend on the oven.
