How to Make Quinoa Pizza Crust
No need to save pizza night for a “splurge” night! Give our protein- and fiber-packed quinoa pizza crust a try. Not only is it a great gluten-free option, but it also makes for a more nutritious, cleaner slice than the store-bought versions.
Quinoa Pizza Crust
Makes: One 9-inch pizza crust
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup uncooked quinoa
- 1/4 cup water, plus more for soaking quinoa
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- cooking spray
Step 1: Place the quinoa in a small bowl and cover it with water. Let the quinoa soak overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and thoroughly rinse the quinoa (this will prevent any bitterness in the crust). Place the quinoa, 1/4 cup water, baking powder, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Process until a smooth batter is formed, about 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the food processor as necessary.
Step 2: Line an 8 or 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper (it may help to spray the pan with cooking spray first, so that the parchment sticks), and then spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth with a rubber spatula.
Step 3: Bake the crust for 15 minutes at 425°F. Remove the parchment paper from under the crust.
Step 4: Flip the crust over and return to the oven for 5-10 more minutes, or until golden and the edges are crispy.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and add sauce, cheese (a good dairy-free option is using Daiya cheese – it’s also soy-free melts great), and toppings of your choice. Be creative & add some veggies too! Return to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melty.
Step 6: Cut pizza into four wedges, and enjoy!
