What’s for dinner tonight? It’s the question I’ve come to loathe the most. I know I’m the Mom, but sometimes I just don’t know what to serve for dinner. Don’t you get bored of eating and serving the same dish over and over again? I know I do. One night of the week I don’t dread is pizza night. It’s a night off from cooking, a night where I don’t have to cook, and I love it! The only draw back, it’s not the healthiest. So lately, we’ve been switching it up and turned it into make your own pizza night. Now, thanks to Sabra Canada Hummus….pizza night is getting a big old twist.
This my friends is Sabra Hummus Flatbread Pizza! You’re welcome.
The beauty of make your own pizza night, is the opportunity to make that pizza what ever you want it to be, spend some extra time with your kiddos and embrace your inner Betty Crocker. There’s no “wrong” way to make a pizza so you can let your creative juices flow. Of course our family loves the traditional pizza toppings but on this occasion (and let me tell you many occasions from now on) we decided to kick it up a notch and spread hummus instead of tomato sauce on the base. This Friday night we created a Mediterranean style flatbread that wowed the crowd…Friday pizza night will never be the same.
Here’s what you need:
Ingredients:
*Your choice of flat bread: Pita Bread, Pizza Crusts, or Naan Bread. (we went with Naan)
*Extra Virgin Olive Oil
*Italian Seasoning – a sprinkle
*Sabra Hummus – we had on offer both the Roasted Red Pepper Sabra Hummus and the Classic. I love that by using Sabra Hummus in place of traditional pizza sauce I’m feeding my family a healthy plant-based protein and a source of fibre and iron.
*Cucumber – chopped
*Sun Dried Tomatoes -chopped
*Black olives -sliced
*Red Onion -diced
*Salt and Pepper -to taste
*Mozzarella Cheese – shredded
*Feta Cheese
*Parmesan (optional but not really)
*Baby Arugula (optional) to add a nice peppery finish
Directions:
*Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees
*Prep all your ingredients and have them ready to go – buffet style.
*Drizzle your pita or naan lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with Italian Seasoning.
*Remove from oven and generously spread each pita or naan with 2 – 3 tablespoons of your favourite flavour of Sabra Hummus. In my opinion, the more the better!
*Top with your favourite Mediterranean inspired ingredients.
*Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for approximately 6 minutes to toast up the pita or naan, and meld all those flavours together.
Serve with a side Greek Salad.
The result a ridiculously tasty thin crust pizza, juxtaposed with the creamy Sabra Hummus and a superb crunch factor. It’s now a family favourite.
In a rush? Try a no-bake version. Perfect on a summers eve or just a fresh twist – follow the directions above but don’t bake. Sliced up into squares this would also make a lovely appetizer!

Here’s some insider info and a new idea for you; Sabra products are Gluten-Free, Non-GMO Verified, Vegetarian/Vegan, have no trans fats or cholesterol are Kosher, and can be found in major grocery stores and mass retailers across the country. I found Sabra products in two different spots in my local Loblaw. The next time you are making lunches, or helping kiddos make they own, remember that Sabra Hummus is a healthy addition to any sandwich and makes a perfect a spread replacing butter, margarine or mayo. One of our “go-to” lunches now includes a simple veggie lunch wrap. We use our favourite whole-wheat wrap, spread with hummus, add spinach, red pepper, cucumber and cheese. Roll it up add it to the bento box, and lunch is done. The veggies stay crisp and it’s such a nice break from traditional sandwiches.

I like adding it to my wraps.
Have used hummus as a dip, in wraps, and tacos.
My favourite way to use hummus is as a dip with fresh crusty french bread
We like hummus better than refried beans so I put hummus in taco salad and also in tacos in place of them. Also we make toasted 12 grain bread with hummus and tomato slices on it and some garlic aioli.
on a sandwich with roast beef
It has never occurred to me to use hummus in a “unique” way – I normally use it as either a dip for vegetables and pita chips, a spread on pita bread or tortillas, or in place of mustard and mayo on sandwiches. I also like hummus as is from a spoon lol
We haven’t done anything too wild with hummus, just as a dip and spread in wraps. This looks interesting though.
i love sabra’s roasted garlic that to me is the best flavour for humus and i love using it as a spread for a great veggie sandwich
I have actually made a version of this pizza before. The most unique way I have used hummus was in a cake. I love spice bar cakes and you can actually make a version using tomato soup , so I made my own tomato soup and hummus. I took the savory elements out of the hummus and added the spices ( clove, cinnamon, all spice , nutmeg ) . Will try in icing the next tie as I had some cream cheese icing already .
I love hummus! I especially love it in wraps with veggies and rice – so good!
I’ve only ever had hummus as a dip but I am definitely going to be using this recipe in the future.
We love using hummus in wraps and pitas!
I love to eat hummus with pita chips and veggies
I’ve only used hummus as a dip or as a spread on pita.
I ate it with bread !
