How to make Hummus Pizza
Start by preheating your oven to 450F.
- Drizzle the olive oil on the pizza pan. Use a solid pizza pan, or a perforated one, either will work. If using a pizza stone, feel free to use that methos as well.
- Stretch out the pizza dough into a disk and place it on the pan. Create a 12-14 inch circles by using your fingers to push out the dough to the sides, creating a crust on the edge.
- Spread the hummus evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Sprinkle the cheese over the hummus. Place the sliced roasted red peppers, mushrooms, olives, tomatoes and onions over the cheese. Sprinkle the oregano over the veggies.
Bake the pizza in the preheated 450F oven for about 20 minutes, or until the crust in golden brown. Carefully remove the pizza from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish the pizza with microgreens and serve.
Variations
- Quick Flatbread Version - Assemble this pizza on your favorite flatbreads and place on the middle rack under the broiler, until the cheese has crisped up.
How to store the Hummus Pizza
Let the Hummus Pizza cool completely before storing to help preserve the texture of the crust and toppings. Store leftover slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for best flavor and freshness. Reheat the pizza in a 375°F (190°C) oven or in a skillet until the crust becomes crisp again and the toppings are warmed through. Avoid microwaving if possible, as it can soften the crust and reduce the bright texture of the vegetables and hummus.
