Ingredients
 

For the dough

  • 2 teaspoon fast action dried yeast
  • 300 millilitres milk
  • 200 grams spelt flour
  • 300 grams strong white flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 3 tablespoon plain yogurt
  • 30 grams butter melted

For the topping

  • 1 large courgette zucchini finely sliced
  • 200 grams hummus I used homemade, if you can try and find one that is not completely smooth but any will do
  • 100 grams Tickler Extra Mature Cheddar with Red Onions or cheese of your choice

Instructions
 

  • I made my dough in the bread maker, but if you want to make it by hand, put all the ingredients in a large bowl and add the salt and the yeast keeping them away from each other. 
  • Add the olive oil and 150ml of the water and mix. Add the remaining water a little at a time until you have a smooth, soft dough.
  • Tip the dough onto an oiled surface and knead for 5-10 minutes until smooth.  Leave for an hour until doubled in size.
  • Split off enough dough for your pizza and roll is or press it onto a tray, spread the hummus in a thick layer over the dough, place the slices of courgette over the hummus.  Crumble the mature cheddar and scatter over the pizza.
  • Cover the pizza with oiled cling film  and leave to rise for a further 30 minutes.
  • Bake at 200C for 20-30 minutes until the base is cooked, the courgettes have crisped and the cheese is melted and golden.

Notes

The combination of the hummus and courgette was absolutely brilliant!  The spelt base was soft rather than crispy but full of flavour, the red onion in the cheese also worked well with the combination, but you could add some finely chopped red onion to the topping to compensate if you don't have this cheese.
