Pizza “Yoga” with hummus, what? How can you call a Pizza call a pizza “yoga”? That’s what I thought when I discovered a ready-to-eat pizza from Fellowfood while shopping the other day. The variant was with Pumpkin beetroot, fresh Spinach and ayurvedic spices. To be honest, I was extremely skeptical and did not buy them at first. A few days later my BFF was visiting and guess what, he had the yoga Pizza with him. Once tasted, I was completely hooked on the idea of making a hummus pizza. Contrary to my skepticism was also the finished Pizza extremely tasty and it was done around me. I modified my version once and opted for a slightly different topping. Well, are you ready for yoga, so I mean yoga pizza? Then I would say, let’s go!
Pizza yoga with hummus, pumpkin and spinach
The basis for our today’s Pizza is a fine dough. This is simply made with wheat or spelt flour, water, yeast and salt. I used fresh yeast this time, but it works just as well with dry yeast. Leave to rise for an hour and in the meantime prepare the hummus. Is it actually the Hummus or the Hummus? German language, difficult language. I just looked it up in the dictionary and you can actually use the or the Hummus say. But now you are perfectly prepared for the recipe and there is no excuse.
TIP: Prepare the hummus and pizza dough a day in advance and store both ingredients in the refrigerator. This way, on the day of preparation, it’s really quick and you save yourself a lot of stress.
What else do we need for our delicious Pizza ? Vegetables of course and this time I chose pumpkin, peppers and spinach. I cut the pumpkin into cubes and blanch it in boiling salted water for 4-6 minutes . This way it is nicely “cooked” and stays nice and juicy while baking.
Make hummus for pizza yourself
You can make the hummus (some also say chickpea cream) yourself without any problems. I like to use ready Chickpeas from the jar and wash them well first. Then I put them in cold water again for 30 minutes, strain them and only then use them. why? Washing and pickling make the legumes more digestible and provide less gas (I’m sure you get what I mean). In addition, the inherent flavor of the Aquafaba somewhat reduced and I personally find that the hummus tastes better.
Otherwise, you can also make the chickpeas “from the scratch”, that is, from dried beans.
- Place chickpeas (1 cup) in a large bowl and add cold water until legumes are generously covered. Cover and let stand overnight. If it needs to go faster, boil once with plenty of water, remove heat and let stand for an hour. Then process further.
- The next day, strain and place in a large saucepan or pressure cooker . Fill with water until the chickpeas are well covered with it.
- Bring to a boil and cook uncovered for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until cooked but not mushy-soft. If using a pressure cooker, cook according to manufacturer’s instructions. The cooking time here is reduced to about 20 minutes.
- Drain, set aside and allow to cool.
- Continue to use for the hummus.
TIP: If you often prepare dried legumes, then I recommend a pressure cooker. This can reduce the total cooking time by up to 70 percent and also significantly reduce energy consumption.
If today you don’t feel like eating Pizza Hummus, then I recommend you my e simple vegan pizza , Green Forest Pizza or Pizza Mozzarella.
