The whole wheat pizza with tuna, anchovies, and cherry tomatoes is a tasty leavened dough suitable for whetting the appetite when you’re not very hungry 😀
These days I had planned to go for a nice walk, but unstable weather is forecasted, so I had to give it up. I stayed home to relax a bit because I really needed it.
Lately I have very little free time and I’m sorry because I would like to dedicate more to my blog 🙁
Today I finally found a bit of time to write this recipe 🙂
It’s a pizza recipe made with leftover sourdough and ingredients I had at home.
The heat is starting, so the appetite diminishes as does the desire to cook, but you never say no to pizza.
I topped this pizza with tuna, anchovies, and yellow cherry tomatoes.
If you don’t have yellow cherry tomatoes, you can use red ones 😀
