Hummus Homemade Bread
Hummus Homemade Bread made with just 5 ingredients and 2 easy steps, vegan and gluten free. Simple and tasty, this will be the best fresh bread you've ever made.
I have made no secret of the fact that Hummus and me are biggest friends. I could eat this almost every day and I absolutely love that I can make so many variations.
Like my more traditionally tasting 30 Seconds Best Hummus Recipe or the Pistachio Hummus with Pomegranate. Feel free to use the search box on the right for many more!
As you know me, I don't simply eat hummus just with chips or veggies. Rather, I'm always up to create something new with this amazing stuff. I'm pretty sure that you will have seen nothing like my Savory Cheesecake.
Of course knowing this, friends, it was only a matter of time until I came up with something new.
And here is the result of my work: my Hummus Homemade Bread. Yes exactly I'm your baker today and by now I bet you can already smell the fantastic aroma of fresh homemade bread in your kitchen.
This bread is fresh, homemade, versatile, worth being a new go to, easy as always, vegan, gluten free, hearty and the best homemade bread ever.
Get your bread pan ready, we're going in the kitchen now. Shall we?
Making this is easy as always. You only need one bowl and a spatula. Combine all the ingredients in that single bowl, and mix them well with the spatula.
Transfer the dough to a pan prepared with baking paper. You could also use a bit of oil to grease. Next and last step is to give the pumpkin seeds on top for garnish. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake all for 55 minutes at 400°F.
Covering the pan with the aluminum foil is important because otherwise the pumpkin seeds on top will most likely burn. After baking, you can let the Hummus Homemade Bread cool or enjoy it warm.
I love to eat this bread plain, with some non diary butter, or with extra hummus which is definitely my favorite way.
If you make this with my 30 Seconds Best Hummus recipe you will have some leftovers which you can put on the bread as I do, so no leftovers here.
For this homemade sensation you only need 5 ingredients and 2 easy steps. No need to say that of course it is vegan and gluten free. Trust me guys if you ever made your first homemade bread, you will have a hard time turning back to store bought ones.
Of course it's pretty easy to buy your bread in a store. But for real you don't even know what's inside, what are the ingredients?. Are there any preservatives or additives?
Oh heck, see you don't know and probably your store bought bread isn't vegan or gluten free.
Here you know exactly what's inside and you can enjoy the process including this wonderful aroma. I mean if you ever smell the taste of homemade bread, see that feeling is worth the effort.
Become a baker with my Hummus Homemade Bread
Let's face it, I could tell you many advantages to baking your own bread. This isn't new or something you won't know, but when we check the top of the Hummus Homemade Bread, you will love pumpkin seeds.
Not only are these health stars full of protein, one cup provides 12 grams, they are also high in magnesium, which is important to regulate the blood sugar levels, nerve and muscles
But the best part is they make you happy and you can read why in the article "7 health benefits of pumpkin seeds".

Love this idea! I never thought to bake with hummus! Your pictures are AMAZING!
Thank you and enjoy, Michelle!
May I ask what is on the sandwiches in the picture you have for this recipe? Thank you in advance
Hi Tammy! It's leftover hummus, roasted zucchinis, eggplants, bell peppers and vegan parmesan!
Such a cool idea Florian! I LOVE hummus and turning that into a bread is such an interesting idea! I'm in love with all the toppings you chose too, it's making my mouth water, lol! The pumpkin seeds on top is a lovely touch since it would add a yummy crunch to each bite. All the gorgeous colors and layers you have on top of each slice looks so delicious. Just beautiful pics!
Thanks so much, Brandi! Nothing beats homemade bread! ?
Could I substitute almond and coconut flours for the buckwheat?
Hi Vj! You can use 1/4 cup coconut or almond flour and use buckwheat flour for the rest. A full mixture with coconut and almond flour won't work for the taste and texture.
hello, I know it may not be gluten free, but would this work with wheat flour?
That will work fore sure!
How would this work with either regular all-purpose flour, or whole wheat flour? I don't have access to buckwheat flour. This sounds delicious!!
Hi Sandi! Feel free to use all-purpose or whole wheat flour. It will work pretty amazing so no big deal. Let me know what you think!
This sounds soooo good! Please confirm baking at 400F for 55 min? Thanks ? Want to try this asap!
Hi Jo-Anne! Yes, Indeed cover the pan with aluminum foil otherwise the pumpkin seeds on top will most likely burn, bake for 55 minutes at 400 F! Let me know what you think, can't wait for your feedback!
Love! I'm not much of a baker so an easy baking recipe like this is perfect!
Happy to help, Carol!
Lovely food here, vegan and gf, very budget, so really enjoying it all!
Thanks so much, that makes me really happy to hear!
It's sooooo goood....and do I get extra brownie points for making my own tahini and hummus?
So awesome, Katie! Thanks for making it and for your feedback! Happy to hear it was such a hit!
Hi Florian, will potato flour work as well?
Hi Miri! I haven't tried this for myself before, but I think it should work. Let me know how it turns out!
Hi again, the potato four was ok. The bread came out a bit bitter though, any idea what could have been the problem?
Hi Miri! I'm not sure, made this several times and it never came out that way. May I ask which hummus did you use?
Hi Florian, the hummus is fine (no homemade, but we always buy it), I used raw tahini - is that ok, or maybe it was supposed to be "made"?
Hi Miri! Raw tahini is fine, but it can be really strong, I guess that might be the reason for the bitter flavor. Maybe next time you can reduce the amount of the raw tahini for a milder flavor or use a less stronger like light tahini.
Lovely bread! Mine also came out bitter but I tracked the culprit to a nonstick spray. I suggest sticking to the recommended baking paper or use a mild flavored oil to grease the pan. Thanks for the recipe!
Looks so delicious, I wish I had one of your little sandwiches. Definitely will give this a try. Thanks for another terrific recipe.
Enjoy!
This is AMAZING! So good, but what is the best way to store it?!
Hi Angela! You can store this in the fridge!
Thank you!
I tried this recipe last night using coconut flour. It was bitter, crumbly, and inedible 🙁 I don't blame the recipe - just the flour I used. So, be warned! Coconut flour does NOT work!
Coconut flour apparently needs to be reduced for recipes. It does not translate equally the same as other flour. I tried it in a couple other recipes and they turned out really really bad!!!
Hi! I am making this as I type! It is in the over now 🙂 I tried a mix of flours. 1c buckwheat l 1.5c sorghum l 1/2c brown rice (protein, not flour - but similar). I also added a TBSP of tamarind paste. I can tell this will be a bit more flaky, but it looks good! I do like how dense yours is, so next time I will use all buckwheat. Thanks for the itea!!
What size pan did you use?
Hi Mike! I used a 9x5 inch bread loaf pan!
Do you think this bread would freeze well? I have family coming in December and am trying to make somethings ahead. Thanks!
Hi Doris! I haven't tried that before, but I wouldn't recommend it. It's best fresh. You can make it ahead though and store this in the breadbox or fridge for up to 5 days.
Okay. Thanks!
This is very tasty! My husband and I ate about half the loaf right when it came out of oven. I used Bob's Red Mill All-Purpose Gluten Free Flour, and it came out perfect. I also used sesame seeds, poppy seeds, and some flaked sea salt for the topping because I didn't have pumpkin seeds. It's great toasted too! I am quite surprised how easy the recipe is, and will definitely make again. Thank you!
Thanks so much for your amazing feedback, Skye! One of my favorites!
Hi! your recipe sounds so interesting and easy. Can i halve it exactly, or will there be a variation in any of the ingredients?
Hi vimki! You can do it, just make sure to use a much smaller baking dish for it.
Hi FLorian, from the UK.
Firstly thank you for sharing your recipes.
I tried making this bread as it looks lovely, but mine sadly was like a brick. It came our very dense and bitter, I think it may be to do with volume translating it from US into UK measures. Do you happen to have the recipe with UK measures at all. I think my conversion required some help.
I also made the hummus, which was good but also a little bitter. Reading some of your comments on the tahini, perhaps I should have reduced the quantity of raw tahini for both recipes.
Anyway, first time I have tried cooking vegan, so a bit trial and error really. Will be trying this again but you have probably ecperimented qite a lot, so any suggestions would be helpful.
best wishes, Sue
Hi Sue,
so sorry you had trouble with this recipe. The measures in the US and UK aren’t really different. 1 US cup is almost the same amount like one cup in the UK except 2 tsp less. If you need help with the measures then I suggest this great resource http://www.jsward.com/cooking/conversion.shtml
I’m not sure why it turns out a bit bitter, but mine was always fine. I make it all the time one of my favorites and never experienced any bitterness. If you’re really sensitive about the hearty tahini taste, I would try light tahini it’s milder than regular but provides the same delicious taste.
Also for the texture I used light buckwheat flour for mine, so I’m not sure which flour did you use? Maybe it can be the reason for the failed texture.
If you have any more questions don’t hesitate to get back at me. I’m happy to help!
FLorian, thank you, I am going to try this again and will let you know if I get it better this time. I will also get buckwheat flour and light tahini if I can for it. My friends love the hummus by the way.!!
Hi Sue! Glad the hummus is such a big hit!
Florian...can the bitter taste be due to the sesame seeds? There are 2 types that I use-hulled sesame has no skin and the sesame I get from Indian stores is unhulled. This could be the issue, perhaps.
Hi Vasu! I've never experienced this issue, so I guess it can be. Hope that helps.
I'm impressed! I just made a loaf using 2 cups Bob's gf flour and 1 cup buckwheat flour and it turned out wonderful! Thank for the recipe!
Thanks so much for your fantastic feedback and making it, Dianne! Happy it was such a big hit!
Hi Florian, saved this recipe a while ago but not got round to making it. I'm hoping to make next weekend. Looks amazing and we have just gone oil free so it would be just right for us.
My question is can I use wholemeal spelt or wheat flour instead of buckwheat?
Many thanks
Reema
Hi Reema! Of course! Feel free to use spelt or wheat flour!
Hi Florian. Can this be made without the tahini? I'm super sensitive to nuts & seeds.
Hi Autumn! I would try 1/3 cup plant based yoghurt. Let me know how it turns out.
I used buckwheat and quinoa flours. Tastes good, but moist and crumbly like a cake and it won't slice. Did I under cook it?
Hi Donna! I don't have any experience with quinoa flour! Maybe this is the issue? Definitely bake it longer next time!
What a great idea! I used red pepper hummus from shop, half chana flour and half regular white flour. I topped with toasted pumkin, sunflower and sesame seeds. Great idea!
That sounds delicious with red pepper hummus! I have to try next time!
This looks amazing! Could you use chickpea (gram) flour instead?
Hi Cathy! I haven't tried that with my Hummus Homemade Bread! But I did with my Olive Chickpea Flour Bread! ?https://www.contentednesscooking.com/olive-chickpea-flour-bread/
Do you think I could make this in a bread machine?
Hi Nicole! I haven't tried that before so I can't vouch for accurate results! If you try this let me know!
Will a mixture of chickpea and regular buckwheat flour work
Hi Marci! I haven't tried that before, but I would say why not. If you're more into chickpea flour, I highly recommend to try my olive chickpea flour bread: https://www.contentednesscooking.com/olive-chickpea-flour-bread/. Anyways, let me know how it goes, can't wait to hear about your experience.
Hi There! Would you happen to know how this would turn out with dark buckwheat flour? That’s what I have on hand...
Hi Jessica! I wouldn't recommend this, result will be really strong texture and taste wise. If you can, mix 1/2 dark buckwheat flour with another flour that you have on hand. Hope that helps, let me know how it goes.
Hello, will brown rice flour or oat flour work?
Hi Stephanie! I haven't tried this, so I can't say for sure. Let me know how it goes.
Can you tell me what a “batch” of hummus is? Is that like the average container size?
Hi Ashley! Just click the link for the hummus recipe linked in the recipe card for the bread. Hope that helps.
Hi, Florian,
I am new to your blog but came up with your amazing bread recipe after I knocked the hummus container out of the fridge. I know now that it is bulging out of the plastic container, I need to use it all fast. Thanks for your amazing recipe. By the way, even the hummus that burst onto the floor did not go to waste, my sweet dog licked up every bit!
Thanks a bunch for your amazing feedback and making it, Mary! Would you mind leaving a star rating with your review? This is super helpful for other readers. Thanks so much.
Hi! I just stumbled across your recipe and can’t wait to try it! Quick question.... “1 batch hummus” is how much exactly? Thanks so much!
Hi Susannah! You can use the whole amount from my hummus recipe which is linked in my recipe card. Hope that helps.
@Florian, thanks so much! Off to the kitchen I go! 🙂
@Florian, Hi Florian! thanks for the great idea and recipe!
Could you give us the exact amount of hummus the bread requires please?
I'm a beginner so I don't know how the amount of hummus balances with the dry/wet balance.
I also saw someone made here it *without* tahini too - which is great, because I don't use it otherwise, so I'm planning to follow your suggestion above and "try 1/3 cup plant based yoghurt" instead - hence why it would be good to know the amount of hummus required, so that I'm only experimenting with 1 variable from the recipe (the yoghurt substitute!).
Thanks very much!
Hi Lara! I would say you can use 15 oz hummus. Hope that helps.
@Florian, The hummus recipe says 12 servings of 0.25c. Wouldn’t that mean a batch is 3 cups? That’s more than 15 oz.
Hi Gwen! The 15 oz is just in case If you use store bought hummus. Hope that helps.
If I were to use store bought hummus ... what measurement would “one batch” equal? I was thinking about 1&3/4 to 2 cups but thought I’d ask your advice.
Hi Janet! 15 oz is fine, hope that helps.
Clarification please! So I’ve read through this a couple of times and still haven’t figured out the answer to this question. You say a batch of hummus, but you also say you will have leftovers. So how much hummus do you actually put into the bread?
Hi Mary! This depends as always on your own personal taste. I would say you can use 1/2 or 1/3 cup leftover hummus for the final bread. This is for my homemade hummus, because for store-bought use a 15 oz container with no leftovers. Hope that clarifies and helps.
@Florian, yes thank you
Can I use oat flour ( I powder quick oats in blender)instead of buckwheat flour?
Hi Ruth! I would use 1/4 cup of oats and mix with another flour, because otherwise the texture is not great. Hope that helps.
Hi!
How much in cups or grams is a batch of hummus?
Tks!!
Hi Silvana! If you use store-bought hummus a 15 oz container is great. Hope that helps. Let me know what you think.
Hi just wondering what quantity ‘one batch’ of hummus relates to in cups?
Hi Amy! 2 cups hummus, hope that helps. Let mew know what you think.
Thank you so much for this recipe! What does 1 batch hummus mean in cups or grams please?
Hi Priscilla! You will need 15 oz hummus. Hope that helps.
Hi there, I’ve just bought a kilo pot of yumi hummus. Would I use a cup full or more please. Many thanks….
Hi Margaret! You will need 1,5 cups hummus. Hope that helps.
How many cups would 1 batch of hummus be for the break? I can’t wait to try. Looks amazing.
Hi there! You will need 1,5 cups hummus. Let me know what you think. ?
I have a question about a “batch” of hummus. I assume this means use your hummus recipe, and then use all it makes. But, in your previous information, you mention left-over hummus. So……I’m not sure about the hummus measurement for the bread recipe. Will you clarify? Thank you!
Hi Susan! You will need a 15 oz container hummus. Hope that helps and clarifies.
Hello,
Do you think I can use oat flour instead of buckwheat in your recipe?
Hi Ruth! All purpose flour is a better option. Hope that helps.
The recipe says a batch of hummus. You said there would be leftover from your hummus recipe, but how much do you use in bread recipe? Thank you
Hi Vivian! You will need 14 oz of hummus and all what's left is for your bread. Hope that helps. ?
I would love to try this. If I use store bought hummus, how much do I measure for it as the recipe simply says 1 batch of hummus. Thank you!
Hi Sarah! You will need a 15 oz container hummus. Hope that helps and clarifies.
How much is 'a batch of humus? I have some pre-made that I would like to use up.
Hi There! You will need 15 oz hummus. Let me know what you think.
This sounds divine! Would you please tell me what a 'batch' of hummus means if I were to buy the hummus in a store? What volume would I purchase? The hummus recipe (which also sounds yummy) states it makes 12 servings of ¼ C. -- do assume this means 3 C. in total? Thank you!!
Hi Danielle! You will need a 15 oz container hummus. Hope that helps and clarifies.
Hi sounds yummy but I have been making my hummus with almond butter lately as there has been a recall of tahini due to salmonella. Is it still ok to use that in the recipe & also for the extra half cup? Also I sometimes use garlic in the hummus, do I still do that?
Hi Lin! The result will be different, but you can use that along with garlic. Let me know what you think.
How much is “one batch” of hummus?
Hi Maria! you will a 14 oz container hummus.
How much hummus is in this bread? Wanting to know so I can try with store bought hummus?
Hi Gemma! You will need a 15oz container hummus. Let me know what you think.
Any substitute for that tahini?
Can use any oils.
Hi Lou Ann! I would say definitely not. The tahini is what makes this bread so amazing.
I made this and it looks beautiful but is still quite moist inside so I cooked it for an additional 15 minutes.
Hi Karla! Every oven is different and glad it worked out.
I’m unclear on the quantity of hummus to use. You say there will be leftover hummus if I use the 30 second Hummus you link, but the recipe calls for “1 batch Hummus” and that recipe says it makes 3 cups, which seems excessive for the bread. Help?!
Hi Beth! Use the whole batch, because you mix them with the other ingredients to make a bread dough. Hope that helps and clarifies.
can you replace tahini with something else
do not like tahini
Thank you
Hi Lynn! You can use almond or cashew butter, but it will taste a little bit different. Let me know what you think.
How much is a batch of hummus?
Hi Rhona! You can use 15 oz and let me know what you think.
I halved the recipe twice just to test this out in my crock pot (I lack an oven). I forgot to add any water, and used Fage 0% instead of tahini (I didn't stir the yogurt and instead selected the thickest parts of the container). I used a flat silicone scraper tool to stir it and even without the water, it somehow did come together (I find that the scraper is handy for these types of batters, as it can press them against the bowl it into a paste, whereas a whisk would probably fall short of mixing it quickly enough to save precious baking powder time). I shaped it into a somewhat flat (ciabatta-esque) slab on parchment in my slow cooker (with the lid clamps engaged, and two towels hammocked under the lid), and in an hour on High, it baked into a lovely toasty bun - somehow reminiscent of a biscuit in flavor. I used Esti brand Pesto flavor hummus, whole wheat pastry flour (a.k.a. "white whole wheat", I believe) and added freeze dried chives. A great, simple recipe for an unexperienced "baker" like me - thank you!
Hi Val! Thanks for sharing and making it! Happy to hear it turned out so amazing and please do a star rating with your review. .
Hiya there, any ideas on using rice flour and sorghum flour?
Hi Mary! You can absolutely do that, but keep in mind that you use a mix from different flours. Just rice or sorghum flour won't work for the texture. Hope that helps and let me know what you think.
Hi. How much is a batch of hummus?
Hi Lisa! You will need a 15 oz of hummus. Hope that helps and let me know what you think.
What is a "batch" of hummus?
Hi Denise! You will need a 15 oz container hummus. Let me know what you think and hope that clarifies.
Hi there, when you say 1 batch of hummus what quantity is that?
Hi Mary! You will need a 15 oz container hummus. Hope that clarifies and helps. Let me know what you think.
Hi, how many grams is a 'batch' of hummus? Thanks. ?
Hi there! You will need 454g. Hope that helps and clarifies. Let me know what you think.
Thanks for this recipe. Have been trying out different v/gf bread recipes and have not found a winner yet. Hopeful this one will be it! But if not using your hummus recipe how much hummus do we use?
Hi Karen! You will need.15 oz hummus, hope that helps and clarifies.
