Process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Refrigerate until the oven comes to temperature.Once the oven reaches 475 degrees, carefully pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the hot pan while it is still in the oven, let the oil heat for about 30 seconds. Carefully remove the pan from the oven, pour in the batter carefully (it will sizzle), return to the oven and cook for 20 minutes or until the top of the crust is firm and starts to brown.While the crust cooks, prepare the hummus. Rinse out your food processor or blender, add the drained garbanzo beans, juice of 1 lemon, 3 minced garlic cloves, cup tahini, 2 tablespoons of the reserved garbanzo bean liquid (or use water) and hot sauce.
