HUMMUS PIZZA

this is a simple recipe...you can buy a pizza crust or use your own favorite pizza dough recipe.

My basic recipe:

1 cup warm water
1 packet rapid rise yeast
1 T. sugar
1 t. salt
mix the above four ingredients together let stand about 5 minutes.
then add 2 1/2 cups of flour gradually,then need 8 minutes
then cover and let rise in a warm place about one hour
after the dough has doubled ,punch it down and you can use this to make one thick crust or two thin ones

THE PIZZA: In a food processor place,1 14 oz can of artichokes in brine (do not put the whole can in,open the can and empty the contents into the processor after you have drained the artichokes) also add 2 cloves of peeled garlic,and one third cup of mayonnaise you can use light mayo if you choose.blend all this until you have a nice paste . Add salt and a little red pepper.this will fit nicely into a 14 inch pizza crust.

ASSEMBLE THE PIZZA:

roll out your dough and put it in your pizza pan
spread the artichoke mix into the shell
slice one red bell pepper in strips and place on top
add some sliced black olives
top with grated Jarlsberg cheese
bake at 450 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes

Mayonnaise

WARNING: the use of raw eggs can cause serious illness.Even though only one out of every ten thousand eggs carries the salmonella virus...the threat still exists.If you know who your seller is of eggs,they should be able to guarantee salmonella free eggs.

Ingredients

2 egg yolks
1t salt
2 T fresh lemon juice
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1T hat water
2 cups extra virgin olive oil (after what Popeye and Bluto,two tough sailors,did to her I hardly think she is a virgin let alone an extra virgin)

Set a bowl on a damp towel.Have all ingredients at room temp. With a wire wisk beat the egg yolks with lemon juice salt and pepper.Add a little hot water while beating. Continue beating until the yolks are light and lemony color. About two minutes

Now add oil a drop at a time while still beating. Then add the oil in a slow steady stream while beating,follow the rule that you can add as much oil at aa time as has been incorporated(IBM'd, Xeroxed,etc.) It is good to have a helper or you could do this in a food processor.When nearing the end of the process the mayo may become quite stiff..If it looks slippery, it may have reached its limit for oil. If the emulsion breaks up whip up a yolk in another bowl and add the broken sauce as if it were oil ...it will go back together quickly. Re season the sauce when done.If it is too thick a few drops of white wine vinegar will adjust it nicely.

I take no credit in creating these recipes . I have collected these from various sources through the years.
