Notes
*Dried chickpeas: This recipe is great if you soak and cook the chickpeas yourself. Cook the chickpeas a bit longer than usual, until they become very soft (borderline mushy). This will give you the creamiest hummus!**To roast garlic: Cut about ½ inch (1 cm) off the top of the bulb of garlic to expose the tops of the cloves. Gently peel off excess papery skin, leaving on the skins of the individual cloves. Pour olive oil into the bulb then wrap bulb in aluminum foil. Set foil-wrapped bulb directly onto oven rack and roast at 400 degrees F (200 C) for 30 to 40 minutes, until cloves are soft. Allow to cool slightly before handling.
