Hummus Pizza

Image
By
This pizza was an experiment and it is the best vegan pizza I have made yet. All of my kids even asked for seconds. It was also really easy to throw together.

Basically you make your favorite crust (I will include my crust recipe below)
I put about 3 large spoonfuls of hummus (I bought mine at Costco, but you can easily make your own) on the crust and spread it around.
Then I grated a few carrots on top on the hummus and topped it with tomatoes.
Then I baked it for about 5 minutes, and topped it with baby spinach.

You could easily use different combinations of vegetables. I would suggest using tomatoes because it needs the moisture.

I have been making this pizza crust for a long time. It is so easy and fast and it turns out for me every time.

Pizza Crust
1 cup warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar of your choice
(I use organic cane sugar, honey works too)
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
optional: italian seasoning

Mix together and let rise, covered, for 20 minutes. If it looks too dry, add 1 or 2 Tbs. water.
After rising, sprinkle dough with a little flour and spread out onto a greased cookie sheet. I don't even roll it out. I just set the dough in the middle and spread it out with my fingers. (you could call this recipe "lazy pizza crust" :)
Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
Add toppings and bake for an additional 5 minutes or so until done to your liking.

German Pancakes

This is a healthified version of an old family recipe. My kids LOVE these pancakes and ask for them often.You may need to double the recipe if you have a family larger than 4. -1-2 tablespoons coconut oil -1 cup rice or almond milk (unsweetened) -1 cup whole wheat flour -5 organic eggs -pinch of salt Preheat oven to 425, put the coconut oil in a 9x13 pan and place it in the oven as it's preheating. Add the remaining ingredients to your blender and blend (I used the "batters" button on my blendtec). When the oven has preheated take out the hot pan of melted coconut oil and pour the batter in. Carefully place it back into the oven for 15 min. Serve with pure maple or your favorite healthy pancake topping.
