The BEST quinoa pizza crust...ever!

You must make this...immediately. I've been struggling

with come mad pizza cravings while on this elimination diet

with Nora. We are trying to figure out what is causing her skin

breakouts, so we are basically avoiding all major allergens, 

including wheat and dairy...both major players in pizza.

I stumbled across this pizza recipe and haven't looked back!
This crust is protein-packed and GLUTEN FREE! Top this baby with some Daiya (vegan cheese) and I'm good to go! Of course, you could top it with whatever your little heart desires.


Quinoa Pizza Crust 
Serves: One 9" Pizza, serves 2 (or a really hungry person!)
Ingredients

• for the crust:
• ¾ cup quinoa, covered by 1" of water and soaked for 6 - 8 hours (or overnight)
• ¼ cup water
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• optional toppings:
• ½ cup tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheese of choice
• Fresh herbs
• Red pepper flakes

1. Instructions:
   Soak the quinoa in water, covering it by at least 1", for 6 - 8 hours.
2. Once you're ready to make the crust, preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a 9" cake pan with parchment paper and drizzle one tablespoon of oil in the center. Spread around with your hands until evenly coated and set pan aside.
3. Thoroughly rinse quinoa, then add to a blender. Add remaining ingredients and blend on high until smooth and creamy. This should resemble a thick pancake batter.
4. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove, flip and return to oven baking for another 10 - 15 minutes until browned and edges are crispy.
5. Top with sauce, cheese and any other toppings you'd like and bake for 12 - 15 minutes until cheese has melted and started to brown.
6. Remove, let cool for a few minutes in the pan, transfer cutting board and slice.
7. Garnish with herbs, pepper flakes, grated cheese, etc., and serve immediately!
