Dick Clarks Seared Tuna Pizza Recipes

Steps:

• For the flatbread: Preheat the oven with a pizza stone to 500 degrees F. (If you don't have a pizza stone, sprinkle a sheet tray with flour or cornmeal.)
• Stretch each piece of Pizza Dough thinly, dusting with flour. Roll out each piece to wafer thin. Drizzle the dough with the olive oil, smearing evenly. Top with the shaved garlic, rosemary, sea salt and pepper. Transfer to the pizza peel (or upturned sheet tray). Bake until crispy, golden and bubbled up around edges, 2 to 4 minutes each piece.
• For the salad: Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Sriracha, sesame oil, and some kosher salt and pepper. Fold in the tuna.
• To serve: Break the crisp flatbread in pieces. Season with the flaked sea salt and drizzle with the aged balsamic. Top with a spoonful of salad and some greens.
• For the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the sugar in the warm water. Sprinkle the yeast on top. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Add the olive oil and fine salt to the yeast mixture. Then use the dough hook to mix in the flour. Mix until the dough comes together. Add more flour as needed and allow the machine to knead the dough until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover the bowl with a towel and let stand in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• Turn out the dough onto a floured surface. Divide in 4 pieces. Form into 4 smooth, tight balls. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise again for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator overnight.
• Once risen, use immediately or wrap and freeze until ready for use, for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Spread the softened cream cheese on the pre-baked crust. Sprinkle the tuna and onions over the pizza; then top with shredded mozzarella cheese and optional red pepper flakes. Bake in preheated oven until the cheese has melted and started to brown, about 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone, if you have one, on the middle rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 450°.
• If using drained canned tomatoes, season with half the garlic and salt to taste.
• Break up the tuna in a bowl with a fork and add the remaining garlic and half the thyme and rosemary.
• Spread the tomatoes or tomato sauce over the pizza. Distribute the tuna over the tomato sauce. Sprinkle on the remaining thyme and rosemary, the pepper flakes, capers, and strips of sweet red pepper. Drizzle on the olive oil.
• Place the pizza pan on the stone in the hot oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until the crust is brown. Remove from the heat, cut into wedges (I use kitchen scissors for this), and serve.
