Bread Pizza: Fusion Tuna Spicy Version

I've never made pizza dough in my life, and frankly, I don't see the need to learn. We're not big pizza fans at home - it’s more of an occasional treat that we usually grab from a pizzeria for convenience. With so many varieties and toppings available, it's easier to buy than to make from scratch. But with some bread slices nearing their expiration, I decided to whip up these bread pizzas instead. My zen garden is overflowing with daun kaduk, also known as Thai betel leaves, which are a nutritional powerhouse in cooking.

These leaves are packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory benefits, and support digestive health, making them a great addition to any dish. Thai betel leaves are easy to grow - maybe it’s time you considered adding them to your garden?

Now, let’s get to the recipe. Ms. Nava's recipes are always easy and packed with health benefits. While I can't suggest a direct substitute for the betel leaves, feel free to get creative. This is definitely an Asian twist on pizza.

 

Ingredients

4 to 6 bread slices

1 small can of tuna in oil

Some daun kaduk (Thai betel leaves), thinly sliced

1 large red onion, thinly sliced

1 red chili, thinly sliced

Grated cheese, as needed

Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Add all the ingredients to a bowl, including the oil from the tuna.

Toss and mix everything together.

Spread the tuna mixture evenly on each bread slice.

Bake at 180°C for about 15 minutes.

(Note: You can also grill over a portable grill).

Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle cheese over the top, or sprinkle it before baking.
