Pizza. It's pure comfort nutrient as well as sometimes null else tin quite satisfy those decadent belatedly nighttime cravings. If you lot occur to alive inwards the urban center or a decent sized town, you lot tin pick upwardly the outcry upwardly as well as convey a pizza delivered to your door inwards nigh an hr nearly anytime of day.
At the same time, null compares to homemade pizza. Think of that dough equally a blank sheet to live adorned amongst combinations of your ain making. Dispense amongst tomato plant sauce perhaps, exit out the cheese altogether or fifty-fifty plow out a dessert pizza.
Inspired yesteryear the success of my rather gourmet homemade
olive tapenade pizza, the stance of a hummus pizza straight off came to mind. Thick creamy hummus is a perfect accompaniment to crusty breads as well as crackers, then why non spread a pizza crust amongst some homemade hummus as well as top amongst some of your favorite toppings?
What follows is a basic chronicle of what I did. If you lot desire to cutting corners, you lot tin of course of report purpose pre-prepared hummus as well as pizza crust, though the argue I am offering my suggestions hither is to assistance you lot recreate a unique as well as wholesome sense inwards your ain kitchen, fourth dimension permitting.
In damage of taste, I wanted a hummus that had a fighting of smoky season amongst some goodness of tomatoes that nosotros are then oft used to enjoying on pizza crust. I made my ain hummus, using my recipe for
sun-dried tomato plant as well as olive hummus amongst caprine animal cheese equally a base, after consulting some other favorite,
roasted crimson pepper hummus, as well as melding the 2 together. I omitted the cheese, made certain to include roasted crimson peppers, tossed inwards some chipotle spice, as well as exactly mixed as well as matched some of the flavors from each recipe. I made a amount batch of hummus, which is fine, because you lot tin brand to a greater extent than than i pizza or salve the repose for snacking on amongst vegetables as well as lightly toasted pita triangles or apartment breads the side yesteryear side day.
The dough recipe, reproduced here, is the same I used for the tapenade pizza. I had leftover dough equally it makes plenty for 2 12-inch pizzas — I exclusively needed plenty dough for i pizza that day, then wrapped the residue inwards plastic roll as well as popped it inwards the freezer. The dough does freeze well, I tin at nowadays say, as well as how handy to convey homemade dough on paw when you lot desire to come upwardly up amongst a conventional or not-so-conventional pizza. Just live certain to allow the dough thaw inwards the refrigerator for a dyad of days earlier using or at room temperature for a few hours.
The toppings for my hummus pizza are exactly suggestions. Depending on the type of hummus you lot purpose equally a base, this mightiness modify your pick of ingredients. Feel costless to play amongst whatever flavors tickle your palate. If you lot desire a vegan version of this pizza, but omit the cheese. I was rather sparing amongst it myself because the hummus actually adds quite a fighting of flare as well as core to this filling pizza.
