Preparation of the Savory stuffed crown
To prepare the Savory stuffed crown , first, prepare the pizza dough.
You can follow my recipe or if you’re in a hurry, you can also use the ready-made bases you find in the refrigerated section of the supermarket.
Once the pizza dough has risen, prepare the filling for the stuffed savory crown by draining the tuna from its preservation oil and patting dry the sun-dried tomatoes in oil.
In the cup of an immersion blender or a kitchen robot, place the drained tuna, pitted olives, and well-patted sun-dried tomatoes, and blend.
If you want a nice creamy mixture, blend until you no longer see pieces, otherwise a few seconds are enough to coarsely chop everything.
Then mix the blended ingredients in a bowl with the ricotta, mixing well, and add salt (a little because it’s already very flavorful).
Season with dried oregano to taste.
Roll out the pizza dough giving it a round shape of approximately 24 cm in diameter.
With a small bowl, make a circle (without cutting the dough) you only need to mark it.
With a knife, make a crosscut (inside the circle) then cut each piece in half again to get 8 wedges.
Distribute the filling all around the edge of the stuffed savory crown, leaving 0.79 inches from the edge free.
If you want, you can use a pastry bag to distribute everything evenly.
Now gently take each wedge you have cut and bring it towards the outside, covering the filling.
In the middle of each dough wedge, place half a cherry tomato (if they are too large, 1/4 is fine).
Sprinkle again with dried oregano to taste.
Bake the stuffed savory crown in a preheated oven at 464°F in static mode for at least 20 minutes on the middle shelf.
If you want a more golden surface, you can brush it with milk and then during the last 5 minutes, activate the grill.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
How to store the stuffed savory crown
You can store it in the refrigerator, well closed in an airtight container, for 2 days.
If you prefer, you can also freeze it, then let it thaw out of the refrigerator before warming it in the oven.
