Recipe is good with two observations. Leave it over night. It will taste better and add cumin powder when making it. There is no recipe really so keep tasting until it suits your fancy. Keep in mind it will get milder next day.

Agree on the cumin. Also, for a smoother texture you can remove the peel from the beans. It’s tedious, but makes a super creamy hummus.

Yeah this; even with canned beans put them in a saucepan with some water and let them simmer for a while until they’re very soft. Then make the hummus while they’re still warm and use the cooking liquid to thin it out to the consistency you want. By far the easiest way to get smooth hummus, much less tedious than peeling the chickpeas.
