homemade pizza

I recently made Mediterranean pizza for din din. It was so good I knew I had to get a photo and post it here!






The crust is a basic recipe my mom passed on to me... just flour, yeast, olive oil, water, and salt. It comes out soft and chewy.
As the base topping, instead of a traditional tomato sauce, I made some hummus by blending together cooked chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, fresh garlic, salt, and a pinch of cumin.
That was topped with a layer of fresh spinach leaves.
On top of that was: artichoke hearts, red onion, black olives, capers, a little bit of feta cheese, lots of mozzarella, and a sprinkling of olive oil.

Very easy despite being made entirely from scratch! In my opinion, takeout pizza is always good, but it's in an entirely different league than homemade.
