Ingredients
  

Hummus Base
  • 1 cup Chickpeas cooked (or 1 15 oz can, drained)
  • 3 tablespoon Roland Foods Sun-Dried Tomatoes packed in oil
  • ¼ cup Tahini
  • 2 tablespoon Lemon juice
  • 1 clove Garlic grated
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2-4 tablespoon Ice water
  • Kosher salt to taste
Handmade Pita
  • 1 ½ cups All-purpose flour
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 2-3 tablespoon Warm water as needed

Method
 

Prepare the Lemon Garlic Base
  1. In a small bowl, combine grated garlic and lemon juice.
  2. Let sit for 5 minutes to mellow the garlic and infuse the lemon.
Make the Hummus
  1. In a food processor, add chickpeas, sun-dried tomatoes, tahini, olive oil, and the lemon-garlic mixture.
  2. Blend until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
  3. Slowly add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the texture is creamy and spreadable.
  4. Season with kosher salt to taste. Adjust lemon juice for acidity if needed.
Handmade Pita
  1. In a bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
  2. Add yogurt and olive oil. Mix until dough comes together, adding warm water a little at a time if needed.
  3. Knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rest for 20–30 minutes.
  4. Divide into 4 equal balls. Roll each into a thin round, about ¼-inch thick.
  5. Heat a skillet over medium-high. Cook pitas one at a time, 1–2 minutes per side, until puffed and golden in spots.
  6. Wrap in a towel to keep warm.

Notes

Storage: Keep the hummus in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, with a drizzle of olive oil on top to keep it from drying out. The pita is best fresh and warm, but leftover pieces can sit at room temperature for a day and be warmed in a dry skillet before serving.
