Happy Mother's Day to all you leading ladies out there. I hope that you are pleasantly enjoying a hot cup of coffee (normally by the time I actually get to my first sip it is cold...but not today) in bed, quietly reading your favorite blogs, all while your husband and children are working hard in the kitchen making a special breakfast.
A few weeks ago I attended The Big Traveling Potluck. BTP is a food blogging conference/ retreat. It was an extremely moving and inspirational weekend. I met my blogging idols, which despite their fame, are incredibly humble and sweet. All of the meals served were fantastic. These breakfast pizzas being one of them.
I have never thought of serving pizza for breakfast let alone a humus pizza, but the first bite was mesmerizing. Of course, I dissected and mentally saved every layer, in order to recreate later at home.
The pizza dough and humus are homemade, however this process can easily be cut in half with pre-made pizza dough and humus. If you decided to purchase the humus, I highly recommend Sabra humus. It is deliciously creamy.
- 6 cups flour
- 2 cups warm water
- 5 teaspoon yeast
- 6 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cans garbanzo beans also called chickpeas , drained but reserve ¼ cup liquid
- the juice of 1 lemon

In small bowl, add yeast to warm water.

Allow to sit for about 5 minutes.

In a large bowl add 3 cups of flour and salt.

Mix together and make a whole in the middle of the flour mountain (think volcano lol).

Add yeast to the well (or mountain hole or lava to the volcano).
-
Mix everything together.
-
Add olive oil and flour, one cup at a time, to the dough.
-
Once everything has been mixed in knead the dough until no longer sticky, about 5 minutes.

Put dough into a well oil bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and put it in a warm corner in your kitchen.

Divide dough into 8 individual pizza dough rounds.

Hummus is my addiction (other than my chocolate addiction. And a wine addiction. O.K., I have a few addictions.). I can't wait to make this!! Thanks! And Happy Mom's Day!

Oh goodness, make your own hummus. Sabra is trendy cause of ad visibility. But sauteing 2 drained cans of chickpeas with 5 minced garlic cloves in olive oil and with1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes for about 6-7 minutes, then putting that into the food processor with 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, another couple mined garlic cloves, 1-2 teaspoons sesame oil, dash Aleppo pepper, and enough EVOO to the consistency you'd like------is not hard. And you'll never go back.
