Eating pizza while watching the Academy Awards is traditional for me, but instead of making a vegan pizza with non-dairy cheese, I made a pizza substituting cheese with hummus! It was different and delicious!
Here's how I made it:
Prep Time: 2 hours
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 2 hours, 20 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 1 T. sugar
- 1 .25-ounce package active dry yeast
- 1 t. olive oil
- 1 t. salt
- 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Preparation:
2. Once doubled, punch down the dough. Knead for several minutes into a tight ball, then return the dough to the mixing bowl, cover with the towel, and let rise again until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Lightly oil a pizza pan or baking pan.
4. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to a circle of desired thickness, about 14-16 inches in diameter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, top with desired toppings, and bake until golden brown, about 16-20 minutes.
For toppings, I added:
Mixing tomato paste with vegan pizza sauce
Hummus
Pineapple
Mushrooms
Vegan meatballs crumbled into small chunks
Powdered oregano
Unfortunately, I just took a photo of my pizza today, after I have already eaten half of it and as it is cold from being in the fridge. I place the hummus on top because I didn't want that heated too much so it went on last during the last minutes of baking, but you can put hummus on bottom as cheese would be if you like.
I'll definitely make this pizza again!
It looks good! Did you make the hummus yourself? I tried making hummus recently and it was awful! I used a recipe but it didn't like it at all. I'll find some different recipes for it next time I try to make it because I love the hummus you get in stores or restaurants!
ReplyDeleteI bought the hummus from the grocery store.
DeleteHummus seems to be very hard to make at home; Jeffrey, who is a very good cook, has tried to make some but it never comes out the way it taste in restaurants.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one having trouble getting homemade hummus to taste right!
