4. Gradually add the mushrooms and thyme mixing well between each addition.
5. Cook for 5-10 minutes, until any liquid has evaporated. Leave to cool slightly.

7. Spoon the mushroom topping over and spread out to cover the hummus.
8. Tear the mozzarella cheese into pieces and scatter over the pizza.
9. Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 20 minutes, until golden and bubbling. Remove from the oven and slide onto a serving plate or chopping board and serve hot.
