Hummus Pizza

12.30.2011 | Author: Mariam | Posted in Cooking and Recipes, Pasta, Rice and Bread

You know what’s delicious? Hummus. You know what else is delicious? Pizza. Now, hummus and pizza at the same time? Revolutionary.

This Middle Eastern-style pizza takes only a few minutes to assemble, and it’s health-conscious too. I prefer using roasted garlic hummus as the base, and I pre-soak my feta cubes in olive oil flecked with oregano and red pepper flakes for a hit of extra flavor. Feel free to experiment — this recipe can be endlessly customized.

Hummus pizza

Ingredients:

1 cup hummus, preferably roasted garlic
1/2 tomato, thinly sliced
1/3 cup Kalamata olives, sliced
1/2 cup feta cheese, cubed
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough
all-purpose flour
olive oil

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Meanwhile, roll out dough to a 10-inch round on a lightly-floured working surface. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled baking sheet.

2. Spread hummus on pizza dough and top with tomato, olives, and feta. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes in the oven, or until crust is golden.

3. Sprinkle pizza with parsley, drizzle with olive oil, and serve warm.

    I want to make my own pizza. I’ve never thought of using hummus as the base though? It seems intriguing and looks absolutely divine. I may have to try this.

    It’s not as saucy as traditional pizza, but it tastes really good. Try it out!
