Method

Hummus Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if needed to reach desired consistency.

  2. 2

    Season the Hummus

    Taste the hummus and adjust seasoning with salt and paprika as needed. Transfer to a serving bowl.

Pita Bread Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Dough

    In a bowl, mix warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Knead until a smooth dough forms.

  2. 4

    Let the Dough Rise

    Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

  3. 5

    Shape the Pita

    Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Punch down the dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it into a circle about 1/4 inch thick.

  4. 6

    Bake the Pita

    Place the circles on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until they puff up and start to brown. Remove from oven and cover with a towel to keep warm.

Assembly

  1. 7

    Serve the Dish

    Arrange the hummus in a serving dish, drizzle with olive oil, and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with fresh pita bread and Kalamata olives on the side.
