In a large bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes until yeast dissolves.
Mix in olive oil and salt.
Add 2 cups of bread flour and stir until dough forms.
Knead in the bowl, adding more flour if sticky, for about 6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Transfer dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel.
Let rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 1/2 hours, until doubled in volume.
Combine soy sauce, olive oil, and wasabi in a medium bowl. Whisk until blended.
Whisk in minced fresh ginger. Season to taste with pepper.
Preheat oven to 400F with a heavy baking sheet on the rack.
Gently knead the dough to deflate. Divide into 4 equal pieces and shape each into a disk.
Place on a lightly floured surface, cover with a towel, and let rest for 15 minutes.
Roll out each piece to a 6-inch diameter round.
Cover the dough rounds again and let rest for 10 minutes.
Roll out 2 dough rounds to 8-inch diameter rounds.
Brush each generously with wasabi sauce.
Sprinkle the heated baking sheet lightly with flour. Transfer dough rounds to the sheet.

Repeat with remaining 2 dough rounds.

Heat a heavy, large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add tuna.
Sear until brown outside but still pink inside, about 5 minutes per side.

Arrange 1/4 of the tuna on each pizza crust.
Drizzle each with 1 tablespoon of wasabi sauce and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
Serve, passing remaining wasabi sauce separately.
