Instructions
- 1
Add the chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, 2 tbsp olive oil, cumin, and salt to a food processor. Process for about 1 minute, until the mixture is mostly smooth. With the machine running, add the reserved chickpea liquid 1 tbsp at a time — up to 3–4 tbsp — until the hummus is creamy and spreadable, with no visible chunks.

Toast the bread slices in a toaster or under a broiler until golden and firm at the edges, about 2–3 minutes.
