Whole-wheat pizza with onions and tuna is a leavened bread that whets the appetite 😉
A few days ago I made it because I was craving pizza and enjoyed it for lunch.
I had some whole-wheat flour to use up and quite a few onions.
I stuffed some onions and used the remaining three as a topping together with tomato sauce and tuna.
I used yellow onions, but you can also use white or red onions.
For the tuna I used tuna in water, but you can also use tuna in olive oil — if you do, remember to drain it well or the pizza will be too oily.
I used a large baking tray; if you use a 9 1/2 – 10 1/4 in pan, halve the quantities.
Now all that remains is to prepare it — enjoy!!!
