Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the pita bread pieces on a baking sheet and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Toss to coat the pieces evenly, and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the pita is golden and crisp. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until warm. Add the cooked chickpeas and let them heat through for about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, minced garlic, and salt. Adjust the consistency with water, one tablespoon at a time, until smooth and pourable.
In a skillet over medium heat, toast the pine nuts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown. Remove from the heat and set aside.
To assemble the Fattet Hummus, in a large serving dish, layer the crisped pita bread at the bottom.
Drain the chickpeas, reserving about a cup of the vegetable broth, and layer the chickpeas over the pita bread. If the mixture seems dry, drizzle some reserved broth over the chickpeas to moisten.
Evenly pour the tahini sauce over the chickpeas.
Garnish with toasted pine nuts, parsley, and a sprinkle of sumac.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top and serve immediately.
