This is a recipe to make a quick, healthy, pizza, replacing tomato sauce with hummus and reducing the amount of cheese compared to a traditional pizza.  First, check out our Classic Hummus recipe and make at least a cup.  Next, slice the vegetables and sauteé the spinach with a bit of garlic.

Fresh vegetables and hummus.

Next, make the dough.  This is by no means a perfect pizza dough, but it’s fast and really tasty!  We added some oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and pepper to the dough, but you can experiment with others.

Rolled dough.

After letting the dough rest for a few minutes, put it in the oven just to crisp the bottom and form bubbles.

After a quick minute in the oven.

Spread the hummus, leaving room for a bit of a crust…

Add veggies and cheese, bake, and enjoy!
