~ Hummus Vegetable Pizza ~


You'll need:
1 1/2 cup hummus (homemade or store-bought)
1 cup ricotta cheese, divided
1 head broccoli, broken into florets & lightly steamed
1 red pepper, sliced
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
flaky salt & freshly ground pepper
your favorite pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
2 T cornmeal
1 T olive oil

Preheat oven to 425F.

Blend together the hummus and
1/2 cup of ricotta cheese until combined.
Set aside.

After your pizza dough has risen, use 1 tablespoon of olive oil to grease up a walled cookie sheet. I use my hands for this. Sprinkle sheet with cornmeal and then push out or roll out your pizza dough until it spreads to all 4 corners.

Spread hummus evenly over pizza dough and scatter the steamed broccoli florets, red pepper slices and onion over top.
Sprinkle with salt and give it a good grind of black pepper.
Drop the remaining ricotta cheese over the pizza.
Place in oven and heat for about 20 minutes or until the crust becomes golden.
Slice and eat!
