Pizza With Hummus!

Tonight I made a pineapple and mushroom pizza, with hummus as a layer under the tomato sauce. Yummy! It was the last of the sun-dried tomato and basil hummus in the fridge, and it needed to be used up. It also tasted delicious on homemade pizza dough with fresh pineapple!

Dough:
[Water - 1/4 cup
Sugar - 1 tbsp
Yeast - 1 tbsp] - set aside 5 mins to check if yeast is active
[Olive Oil
Tomato Sauce
1/2 cup water
Honey
Italian spices
Garlic salt] - about 1 cup total liquids
Flour - as much as needed for good consistency


Use your favorite bread recipe for the dough, if you're making it yourself. I love experimenting with breads, so I always cook them a little different! http://www.justpeace.org/bread.htm#Making%20Bread%20is%20Easy%20as%20One-Two-Three-Four! is a great site if you need directions. I put a little tomato sauce in my pizza doughs, as well as Italian spices. The dough is quite sweet, and the crust of your slice of pizza tastes excellent with some garlic butter, if you so desire..
Toppings:
Sundried Tomato Basil Hummus
Tomato Sauce
Fresh Pineapple
Sliced Mushrooms
Cheese

When the dough was ready (risen, punched, and spread on a pizza pan), I baked it for 5 or 10 minutes while the oven pre-heated. While that was cooking, I sliced up mushrooms and fresh pineapple, as well as cheese since I had no grated cheese, unfortunately. After taking the crust out of the oven, I spread a thin layer of the sun-dried tomato and basil hummus over the whole thing. I covered it with plain tomato sauce from a jar, and sprinkled the fruit, veggies and cheese on top. Bake for 15 mintutes at 425, you have a perfect pizza! It was delicious, but not very filling. The two of us ate the whole thing quite easily :-)
