Ingredients
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.

- Roll out the dough and place it on a pizza pan, pressing up the sides slightly.
- Bake in the oven for approximately 15 minutes until light brown.
- Let it cool before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider using Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a tangy flavor. You can also substitute the tuna with canned chicken or chickpeas for a vegetarian twist. Ensure the dough is not too thick to achieve a crispy crust. If you prefer a slightly spicy kick, add more horseradish or a dash of paprika to the filling.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Tuna Wedge warm, garnished with fresh tomatoes and a sprinkle of grated Cheddar cheese on top. It pairs beautifully with a crisp side salad or steamed broccoli for a complete meal. For a more substantial dish, consider serving alongside the 5 Minute Soup for a comforting combination.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the wedge in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through. Avoid microwaving for best texture.
