Sardine Pizza

Ingredients:

• 1 pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 can sardines in olive oil, drained and flaked
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
2. Prepare the Dough:
   • Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. Add the Tomato Sauce:
   • Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
4. Add the Toppings:
   • Distribute the flaked sardines evenly over the tomato sauce.
   • Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese over the sardines.
   • Arrange the thinly sliced red onion and black olives on top of the cheese.
   • Sprinkle the dried oregano and dried thyme evenly over the pizza.
5. Bake the Pizza:
   • Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the preheated pizza stone if using).
   • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Finish and Serve:
   • Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
   • Drizzle a little olive oil over the top and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Slice and Serve:
   • Slice the pizza into wedges and serve hot.
