Ingredients

Base Recipe

  • 1 pizza dough round (8-10 ounces)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • ¾-1 cup hummus

Toppings to YOUR taste

  • 2-3 ounces protein
  • ¼-¾ cup raw, roasted, or sautéed vegetables
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh herbs
  • Drizzle balsamic reduction
  • Drizzle plain or infused extra virgin olive oil
  • Hot sauce

Instructions

Pizza Stone Instructions

  • Place pizza stone on bottom rack of oven.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Heat one hour before cooking for the crispiest crust.
  • Stretch pizza dough into a 12” circle on a piece of parchment paper. Prick the stretched dough in about 5 different places with a fork to keep it from bubbling. Brush with oil.
  • Using a pizza peel, slide pizza crust with parchment paper onto stone. If you don’t have a pizza peel, a baking sheet without a rim or an upside down baking sheet will work. Cook for 6-7 minutes until the crust begins to turn golden brown.
  • Remove crust from oven. Spread hummus onto the center of the crust. Add toppings to your taste. Enjoy!

If you don't have a pizza stone:

  • Preheat oven to 500ºF.
  • Stretch pizza dough into a 12” circle on a piece of parchment paper.*  Brush with oil. Prick the stretched dough in about 5 different places with a fork to keep it from bubbling.
  • Place pizza crust and parchment paper onto your pan. Cook for 10-12 minutes, or until crust begins to turn golden brown.
  • Remove crust from oven. Spread hummus onto the center of the crust. Add toppings to your taste. Enjoy!

Notes

*Stretch pizza to just smaller than the size of your baking sheet. If using a rectangular baking sheet, either stretch dough into a rectangle, or create 2 smaller rounds.
