Homemade Hummus Pizza and Quick Pita Pizza

Tonight I made pizza from scratch. It was a pretty crazy thing to do on a day like today, but somehow, I did it. It helped that last night, I made extra pasta sauce and hummus for dinner.

I used my Simply Easy Homemade Hummus as my 'cheese' for our pizza. I made this 100% whole wheat pizza crust which miraculously turned out very good even though the yeast I used expired a long long time ago....(that's not recommended). But we did have to bake it about 5 minutes longer than recommended.

Tip: Use grits/polenta (or white corn meal) instead of flour on the pizza stone to keep dough from sticking
