Description
A healthier gluten-free alternative to traditional pizza crust, packed with protein and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup quinoa
- 2 cups filtered water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Rinse the quinoa under cold water to remove excess saponins, then soak in fresh water for at least 2 hours. Drain and rinse again.
- In a blender, combine the soaked quinoa, 2 cups of water, salt, olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend until smooth and creamy—about 1-2 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, shaping it into a flatbread about 1/4-inch thick.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until edges are golden brown and the middle feels firm.
- Remove from oven, add desired toppings, and bake for another 10 minutes until toppings are bubbly and cooked through.
Notes
Feel free to customize toppings per your liking. Store crusts in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
