Prepare the Dough

Start by preparing your pizza dough. If you're making it from scratch, mix your preferred flour, yeast, water, salt, and a dash of sugar until it forms a smooth dough. Let it rise until doubled in size. If you're using ready-made dough, let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before using.

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to the highest temperature, typically between 475°F (245°C) and 500°F (260°C), to mimic a traditional pizza oven's heat.

Assemble the Pizza

Roll out your dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Next, add shredded cheese, mozzarella slices, drained tuna chunks, sliced olives, and diced ham. Season with herbs, salt, and pepper to taste.

Bake

Transfer your pizza to a preheated pizza stone or a baking sheet and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling and slightly browned. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
