Ingredients
Units
For the Dough
- 500 g flour
- 1 sachet dry yeast
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil, plus more for coating the dough
- 300 ml lukewarm water
- 1/2 tbsp agave syrup
For the Toppings
- 3 tbsp basil pesto
- 4-5 tbsp hummus
- 1/2 zucchini
- 4 dried tomatoes in oil
- a handfull of fresh baby spinach leaves
- 1 - 2 avocados
- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds
Instructions
- Dough
- Mix the agave syrup, 100 ml of the water and the dry yeast in a small cup. Leave for a few minutes in a warm spot to activate the yeast.
- In a larger bowl mix together the flour and salt. Make a well in the middle, pour in the olive oil and the activated yeast mixture. With a fork start mixing the wet ingredients into the dry. When it gets too dry, start adding water a few tablespoons at a time.
- When a ball starts to form, transfer to a clean surface and knead for a few minutes. Add water or flour depending on the dryness of the dough.
- Once you have a smooth and stretchy dough, form a ball, coat in olive oil and leave to double in size for about an hour.
- Assembly
- Heat the oven to 230°C (446°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Divide the dough into 4 smaller balls and form a heart-shaped pizza crust from each, placing them on the baking sheets—two on each.
- Assemble the pizzas: Spread basil pesto over each pizza, add a few teaspoons of hummus to each, and sprinkle with chopped dried tomatoes.
- Shave the zucchini with a peeler and place a few pieces on each pizza.
- Bake one sheet at a time for about 10 minutes, or until golden brown on the edges.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes, then garnish with spinach leaves, sliced avocado, and sesame seeds.
- Serve immediately. The pizza is also very tasty when cold, but reheating is not recommended.
Notes
- For a creamier pizza, use full-fat hummus and ripe avocados.
- To prevent soggy crusts, pre-bake the crusts for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheating is not recommended, enjoy cold!
