Chana Masala Hummus & Tofu-Cheese Pizza


Chana Masala Hummus & Tofu-Cheese Pizza

We made two Pizzas in order to try out some recipes (and a craving for pizza)
We found two nice ones on the hobbies and more blog, and from the Blazing salads cookbook,

To make the dough we just used:
-          ½ cups of water                            - 1  ½ cups of flour
-          1 teaspoon of sugar                       -1 teaspoon of salt
-          2 teaspoons of Yeast
Put Yeast into water. Mix all ingredients together and leave to rise for 30 mins.


1.       Chana Masala Hummus pizza
For making the Chana Masala Hummus we found it HERE.
We divided the dough in half, then rolled it Rectangularly, filled it with the Hummus and toppings.

We used the following toppings:
-          Sun dried tomato                      -  Chopped Tomatoes
-          Olives (on Hope’s half)              -  Courgette
-          Onion                                           -  Peppers

 
2.       Tofu Pizza
For this we got the recipe from the Blazing Salads cookbook.

-          We got some tofu, added a little bit of soy sauce, and blended until creamy.
-          We spread it over the tomato sauce, then added toppings.

Then we just used the following toppings:
-          Mushrooms                                        - Aubergine
-          Sun dried tomato                             - Courgette
-          Peppers                                               - Avocado


Both Pizza’s turned out great!
We shared them with my housemates as there was a seriously large amount of food.
Unfortunately the bases of the pizza fell apart a bit while trying to move them. I suspect that we should cook the base before topping-ing them to make better.

Good recipes to try out, and the use of Hummus on a pizza instead of tomato is a definite win.
First time we saw it was in France (Hummus, Shaved carrot (instead of cheese) pizza.. interesting)

We enjoyed making it, and hope you do to!   :D
