Ingredients
1 batch pizza dough (I used half of Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix, but you’ll just need enough dough for 1 12-inch pizza)
1/2 cup plain hummus
3-4 Tbsp. hot sauce (I used Franks)
salt + pepper
1 15-oz. can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1+ cup mozzarella or vegan mozzarella
2-3 Tbsp. parsley, minced for topping
Instructions
Prepare your pizza dough according to package instructions. Par cook your crust if needed.
Mix hummus, 3 Tbsp. hot sauce, and salt and pepper (if needed) until smooth. Taste, and add the additional Tbsp. hot sauce if you want it spicier. Set aside.
Add chickpeas to a small bowl. Cover with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cayenne, and mix to combine. Set aside.
Spread hummus-hot sauce mixture on your crust. Top with chickpeas and cheese. Bake until cheese is melted and crust is done. Top with parsley and additional hot sauce if desired.
