Preparation Steps
1
In a bowl, combine the lukewarm water, sugar, and dry yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes to activate the yeast.
2
In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until you have a smooth and elastic dough.
3
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
4
Preheat the oven to 430°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
5
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a circle and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
6
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base. Mix a little harissa into the sauce for a spicy kick.
7
Sprinkle the drained canned tuna over the sauce, then arrange the thinly sliced red onion, olives, and hard-boiled egg slices on top.
8
Sprinkle with oregano and black pepper. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
9
Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, let it cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
