Minoo used whole wheat pita bread as the base for the pizza. Instead of using tomato sauce for flavouring, Minno used hummus which is high in protein. Minoo used a store-bought prepared hummus for this recipe for simplicity. You can make your own hummus with this Creamy Hummus recipe.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion, sliced
  • 1 cup plain hummus
