Pita Bread Pizza With Spicy Hummus & Roasted Chickpeas

Instructions

Pita

Tip the yeast and sugar into a bowl, pour the warm water on top and leave to sit until frothy. Then add the flour, salt, baking powder, coconut cream and olive oil and stir until a dough forms.

Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour, knead the dough for 5 minutes or until smooth and soft, you may need to add more flour if too sticky.

Place in a bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise until the dough has doubled in size.

Divide the dough into 8 pieces, heat a pan over a medium heat, roll a piece of the dough into an oval shape and place the dough on the heated pan. Cook until bubbles form and golden brown then flip and cook for a couple of minutes until golden brown.
