Homemade Hummus

kayemme

dude! I love hummus! and had no idea you could get the chickpeas not in a can!
I'm totally headin' to the store now! :bigsmile: :bigsmile:

yeah, and it's considerably cheaper to buy them dry.

in the summer we use hummus in place of mayonnaise.

also, we sometimes use the same recipe for hummus, but swap the chickpeas out with black beans or red beans. just for kicks, you know.

Pita Bread :-) no Food processor needed


Ingredients:
1 package of yeast, or quick rising yeast
1/2 cup warm water
3 cups all purpose flour
1 1/4 teapsoon salt
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 cup lukewarm water

i have made these from scratch for years, but i have found that adding a little milk instead of just water really helps give a better rise. also, i use half 100% whole wheat but add 1tbs wheat gluten for each cup of wheat to promote better elasticity in the dough.

one other tip is to knead the salt in last as salt doesn't play well with yeast.
