Ingredients

Ingredients for pizza:

1 pound pizza dough see below or use premade
1/2 cup cashew cheese dip or use tomato paste or almond butter, as you wish
2 teaspoon olive oil
2 teaspoon Za’tar seasoning mix
1 cup crispy spicy chickpeas make your own or use prepared toasted chickpeas
2 tomatoes diced
Fresh mint cut into ribbons
1 avocado peeled and sliced

Pizza dough:

1 cup water
1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
3 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon olive oil

Method

Mix the pizza dough by hand or in a mixer or bread machine. Allow to rest and rise one hour.
Pull the pizza dough out to a very thin rectangle onto a sheet tray. To do this you just gently stretch the dough.
Partially bake (also known as "par-bake") the dough in a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 10 minutes.
Top the par-baked dough with cashew cheese or tomato paste, olive oil, Za’tar, chickepeas, and tomatoes.
Bake the topped pizza for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with fresh mint and sliced avocados.

Notes

Chef's Tips: Cashew cheese dip is ideal but if you don’t have it you can easily use tomato paste or almond butter.

Za'atar Spice is a blend of herbs: oregano, thyme, cumin, coriander, sumac, and sesame seeds. It also has a pinch of salt.
