Ingredients

Base:
Whole Wheat flour - 2 cups ( I used 1 cup each of atta and whole wheat flour)
All purpose flour    - 1 1/4 cups
Active dry yeast     - 2 1/4 tsps
Honey                    - 1 tbsp
Oil of choice          - 1 tbsp
turmeric powder    - 1/2 tsp
Salt as per taste
Water as required
Makes 1 large pizza and 2 medium pizza

Topping:
Cooked white beans                      - 1 cup
Chopped spinach                           - 1 cup *
Garlic(chopped fine)                     -  1 bulb
Pablano pepper(juliened)             -  1
turmeric powder                            - 1/2 tsp
Aoefatida                                      - a small pinch
black pepper powder                    - 1/2 tsp
oil                                                  - 2 tsps
salt as per taste
Mozzarella and cheddar cheese   - 1 to 1 1/2 cups
* I used 1 can of chopped spinach.

Base(thin crust):
Mix all the dry ingredients together. Add the honey, oil and water and mix well to form a dough. You could roll it out immediately to make the pizza or let it rise for a couple of hours.

Topping:
Heat oil in a pan, add chopped garlic and let it saute for a few minutes. Then add the peppers and spices saute for a few minutes. Add the spinach, salt and saute for about 7-10 minutes. Take off heat.

Mash or blend the cooked white beans to a spread/hummus consistency, it could be flavoured with salt and spices of your choice. I soaked white beans and pressure cooked them for this recipe.Canned white beans can be used too.

Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
Divide the pizza dough into 3 balls and roll it out into thin circles.
Spread the white bean spread on the rolled out base.Top it with the vegetables and the cheese.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until done.

Serve once cool.
