Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 1 cup Hummus
• 1 large Red onion
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 whole Roasted red peppers
• 1 cup Baby arugula
• 0.5 cup Feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

If using store-bought roasted red peppers, drain them thoroughly and cut them into thin strips. If roasting your own peppers, place them directly on the oven rack or grill over an open flame until charred all over. Let cool, then peel, deseed, and slice into strips.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion slices and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until they are caramelized and golden brown. Set aside.

Step 4

Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness. Carefully transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper for easy handling and to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Brush the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the dough. Transfer the dough (with the parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes until lightly golden but not completely cooked.

Step 6

Remove the partially baked crust from the oven. Spread an even layer of hummus over the crust, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Scatter the caramelized onions and roasted red pepper strips evenly over the hummus layer.

Step 8

Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the crust is golden and the toppings are warmed through.

Step 9

Once out of the oven, top the pizza with fresh baby arugula, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley.

Step 10

Drizzle with lemon juice and season lightly with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Slice and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious Hummus Pizza with Caramelized Onions and Roasted Red Peppers!
