Hummus Pizza with Arugula and Wild Mushrooms
Serves 4
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
¾ cup almond milk, homemade (page 34) or store brought
1 ½ teaspoons grapeseed oil, plus more for bowl
1 ½ teaspoon organic cane sugar
1 cup white whole-wheat flour, plus more for kneading
1 (1/4-ounce) package rapid rise dry yeast
½ teaspoon sea salt
¾ cup whole-wheat flour
Toppings:
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 cups sliced mixed wild mushrooms
1 cup of fresh lemon juice
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
½ cup hummus, homemade (page 37) or store-bought
2 cups of loosely packed arugula
¾ cup sliced cherry tomatoes
How to Make It
1 For the dough, heat the almond milk and oil in small saucepan set over medium heat and set aside.
2 In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the sugar until it is finely ground. Add the white whole-wheat flour, yeast, and salt and pulse two or three times to combine. With the machine running, slowly put the hot almond milk through the feed tube. Add the whole-wheat flour ¼ cup at a time, pulsing until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
3 Transfer the dough to a floured work surface. Knead for 4 to 5 minutes, and then shape into a ball. Put the dough in a large oiled bowl and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 1 to 1 ½ hours.
4 Preheat the oven to 425 F. Dust 2 baking sheets lightly with flour and set aside.
5 Punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal pieces. Lightly dust a cutting board with flour and roll each piece out into a circle that is 1/8 inch thick. Transfer 2 crust to each of the prepared baking sheets and prick the surfaces all over with a fork. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
6 Bake the crusts until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Set aside.
7 For the toppings, heat the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
8 Assemble the pizzas by spreading the hummus over the crusts and arranging the arugula, mushrooms, and tomatoes on top. Serve immediately.
