Mediterranean Hummus Pizza





Ingredients:
Crust
1 package (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 garlic clove, pressed

Toppings

2 plum tomatoes
1/4 medium red onion
1 2-inch piece seedless cucumber
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives
1 container (7 ounces) plain hummus spread
2 jars (6-7.5 ounces each) quartered marinated artichoke hearts, drained
1/3 cup (2 ounces) Mediterranean-seasoned feta cheese crumbles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Unroll dough onto bottom of lightly greased Large Bar Pan. Gently stretch and press dough to cover bottom of bar pan. Combine oil and garlic pressed with Garlic Press in Prep Bowl; brush evenly over dough. Bake crust 12-14 minutes or until light golden brown.
Meanwhile, for toppings, slice tomatoes in half lengthwise using Utility Knife; scrape out seeds and dice. Thinly slice onion. Using Ultimate Mandoline fitted with v-shaped blade, slice cucumber; cut slices into quarters. Coarsely chop olives using Food Chopper.
Remove bar pan from oven to Stackable Cooling Rack. Spread hummus evenly over crust. Arrange tomatoes, onion, cucumber, olives and artichokes over hummus. Sprinkle with cheese. Cut pizza into squares using Pizza Cutter.


Cook's Tips: Any flavored hummus can be substituted for the plain hummus, if desired.
