QUINOA FLATBREAD FIZZA CRUST ( GLUTEN-FREE, VEGAN )

Quinoa Flatbread Pizza Crust (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup quinoa, uncooked & soaked overnight
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 garlic clove
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp sea salt
• olive oil

Instructions

1. The night before preparing this pizza, measure out your uncooked quinoa, place in a bowl, cover with water, cover bowl & let soak overnight.
2. The next day the quinoa should have absorbed most of the water. Rinse & drain the soaked quinoa & set aside.
3. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, drizzle olive oil on parchment, set aside.
4. In a food processor, combine quinoa, water, garlic, baking powder & salt. Blend until a smooth batter is formed.
5. Pour batter onto your oiled parchment paper. Using your hands or a spatula, spread and shape your batter until about 1/2" thick (I like to form mine into an oval shape).
6. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Carefully flip the crust over, and if you need to, flip onto a new sheet of oiled parchment paper.
7. Top your pizza with your choice of ingredients* & return to the oven. Bake for 10 more minutes & then turn on the broiler for 2-4 minutes, or until crust is desired golden bubbling crispiness.

*Toppings as shown: drizzle of olive oil, sprinkle of dried basil & garlic powder, shredded parmesan, roasted mini sweet bell peppers, diced red onion, and a sprinkle of parsley.Enjoy!
