Hummus Caramelised Onion Pizza (no cheese)
Time to say NO to frozen or takeaway vegan pizzas and YES to homemade ones. Especially when we are talking of a Hummus Caramelized Onion Pizza. A pizza with no meat, cheese, or any animal product, and that you can adapt to your preferences! Without counting the fact that making your own pizza is so much more fun and satisfying than buying it; plus you can garnish it as much as you want!

Notes
*This is the reusable lids I use to cover my pizza dough. I was hesitant at first about buying this product. But it is really really worth the 7 pounds as you get all sizes you need and won't ever need to use cellophane film wrap again! Useful and much better for the environment; I definitely recommend!
