Ingredients
1 pizza dough round (8–10 ounces)
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
¾–1 cup hummus
2–3 ounces protein (optional)
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 (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500°F. If using a pizza stone, place it on the bottom rack and heat for 1 hour for maximum crispiness.
- Stretch pizza dough into a 12-inch circle on parchment paper. Prick the dough in 5 places with a fork to prevent bubbling. Brush lightly with olive oil.
- If using a pizza stone, slide the parchment paper and dough onto the stone and bake for 6–7 minutes until golden brown. Without a pizza stone, place the dough on a baking sheet and bake for 10–12 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove crust from oven. Spread hummus evenly over the crust.
- Add your choice of protein, vegetables, herbs, and optional toppings.
- Slice and serve immediately.
Notes
For Mediterranean style, add olives, sun-dried tomatoes, roasted peppers, and feta.
For a protein boost, add grilled chicken, turkey, or chickpeas.
For a spicy variation, use spicy hummus and drizzle with hot sauce.
For a vegan option, load up with roasted vegetables, caramelized onions, and herbs.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 8–10 minutes.
You can freeze the baked crust (without toppings) for up to 2 months.
