Medi Veggie 'Za

Still riding the veggie train over here, though we did have a pit stop in pork town yesterday (ok, only I did, but it was by accident-- the veggies covered the meat, and it was free food) at The Hornet recruitment dinner.  After a cray-cray day in clinic, I was super excited to come home to my wonderful husband, who had prepped for pizza tonight.  I've had a craving for  'za since I was ogling the menu at Rackhouse Pub last night for trivia (going to 2 bars on a Thursday night--- what?!!).  They have several  delicious- sounding pizzas on their menu, and they're referred to as 'Za, hence the title.   Veggie pizza is the best; load it up with all fresh toppings, and you barely need cheese.  I learned to use hummus on pizza instead of tomato sauce from Greg-- it's an ideal sauce for homemade pizza as it is not too wet and adds great subtle flavor that's not so in yo' face as tomato for when you really want the toppings to shine.    For the dough, we've used the recipe from Best New Recipe with great success for a while now.  Homemade pizza is so easy and delicious, and obviously infinitely customizable. With what we had at home, we went with mediterranean style toppings and gobbled it up. 

Veggie Pizza

INGREDIENTS
1/2 of recipe of pizza dough (recipe from Best New Recipe)
homemade hummus (adapted from BNR-- we made ours especially garlic-y)
Fresh chopped veggies: we used onions, red bell pepper, mushrooms, roasted red peppers, and olives
Feta cheese
Parmesan or asiago cheese

DIRECTIONS

1. Make pizza dough according to BNR recipe.  While dough is resting/rising, prepare hummus. 
2. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
3. Place some semolina flour or cornmeal on baking sheet to prevent dough from sticking.  Roll out dough on sheet, it should stretch to size of large baking sheet.  
4. Liberally spread hummus on dough.
5. Scatter toppings to your heart's content. 
6. Add cheese in a random, but beautiful pattern
7. Bake at 400 degrees for approximately 15 mins.  Cool for a few mins, transfer to cutting board and cut into slices. 

This will usually feed the two of us easily with some leftovers.
