When you\u2019ve had a long day, even ordering delivery sounds like too much. That\u2019s when this easy hummus pizza can save the day. You start with a crisp, prebaked crust and a thick layer of hummus<\/a> seasoned with oregano and red pepper flakes. Then, pile on crumbled feta, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and briny olives. It bakes in under ten minutes, just long enough to warm the toppings and crisp the edges.<\/p>\n You can stick with the toppings we use in our recipe, or treat pizza with hummus like a template\u2014swap in different olives<\/a>, toss on some chopped artichokes or add a handful of greens after baking. This recipe is really more of a method that invites improvisation, so use what you like best or whatever needs using up. It’s an easy alternative to traditional homemade pizza<\/a>.<\/p>\n Preheat the oven to 450\u00b0F. Place the prebaked 12-inch pizza crust on an ungreased baking sheet or 12-inch pizza pan. In a small bowl, stir together the hummus, dried oregano and crushed red pepper flakes.<\/p>\n Spread the hummus mixture over the crust, and sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and olives.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Leave a small border around the edge when spreading the hummus. This creates a mess-free section of crust to hold onto when you eat the pizza.<\/p>\n Bake the pizza for 8 to 10 minutes, or until heated through. Remove it from the oven and drizzle it with olive oil.<\/p>\n Editor’s Tip:<\/em> Wait to drizzle the olive oil until just before serving so the crust stays crisp.<\/p>\n To store leftover pizza, let it cool to room temperature, then transfer the slices to an airtight container. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. For the best texture, reheat pizza<\/a> in a toaster oven or skillet rather than the microwave.<\/p>\n You can assemble this hummus pizza several hours in advance. Store it in the refrigerator, covered, until you\u2019re ready to bake.<\/p>\n Plain store-bought hummus<\/a> is an excellent base for pizza because it complements the bold toppings without overpowering them, but you can also use flavored varieties like roasted red pepper or garlic hummus for extra depth. Edamame hummus<\/a> would be another interesting twist.<\/p>\n Try topping the warm pizza with fresh toppings like a handful of arugula, chopped fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice. These additions add brightness and balance the pizza’s rich flavors.<\/p>\n For a fresh twist, you can bake the crust on its own and add the hummus and other toppings after it comes out of the oven. Saute the olives, sun-dried tomatoes and any other veggies you like\u2014such as spinach, mushrooms or bell peppers\u2014then pile them on top.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What started as an appetizer is now one of my favorite Mediterranean meals.
