Ingredients
HUMMUS:
- 1 tin chickpeas drained
- 2 cloves garlic roughly chopped
- tbs Juice of 1 lemon around 2
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ cup Tahini
- water
FLATBREADS:
- 125 g plain flour plus extra for dusting, 1 cup, all purpose
- 125 g whole wheat spelt flour 1 cup
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbs olive oil
- ½ cup warm water
PIZZA:
- flatbreads
- hummus
- 24 cherry tomatoes some halved, some whole
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cups dandelion greens or rocket roughly chopped, arugula
- ¼ cup balsamic
- extra virgin olive oil for drizzling
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Start by making the hummus. Place the chickpeas, garlic and salt into a food processor and process until you have a paste. You might need to scrape down the bowl a couple of times to achieve this. Add the tahini and lemon juice and process until smooth and creamy. For a looser hummus add a tablespoon or so of water. Taste and adjust the seasonings as necessary. Refrigerate until needed.
- Preheat the oven to 200 celsius (400 fahrenheit). To make the flatbreads place the flours and salt in the bowl of a mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix until combined. Add the oil to the water and, with the mixer running, add the liquid. Knead for 7 to 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. As different brands of flour vary you may need to add slightly more water to form a dough. Let the mixer do its work for a couple of minutes first to see if it will come together before adding more water though.
- Remove the dough from the mixer and place onto a lightly floured bench. Divide into 4 equal size pieces and roll out into roughly 20cm (8 inch) circles. Don't fret if once you've rolled the dough out it isn't in a neat circle. It's part of the charm of homemade to be slightly misshapen!
- Place a frying pan on a medium high heat. Place one of the flatbread in the pan and cook until it puffs up like a ballon (around 1 to 2 minutes). Turn it over and cook for a further minute until the bread no longer looks doughy. Repeat with the remaining flatbreads.
- While you are cooking the flat breads place the tomatoes into a baking tray and lightly coat in half the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Cook until their skin starts to split or wrinkle, around 10 to 15 minutes.
- To make the pizzas place the flat breads on a baking tray and lightly brush with olive oil. Bake for 5 to 7 minutes until crispy.
- Top the flatbread pizzas with generous dollops of hummus, spread over the base, dandelion greens and tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic and extra virgin olive oil. Serve immediately!
