Quinoa-Based Pizza
This alternative pizza crust may be the simplest pizza crust recipe I’ve crafted thus far. In a hurry or want to prep a few crusts ahead of time? Test out this recipe for yourself.
Crust Ingredients
1 cup quinoa (uncooked) soaked in hot water for 30-45 min then drained
½ cup vegetable broth
1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, sea salt to taste
Toppings
Marinara sauce
Dairy free cheese (I prefer Trader Joes' cashew milk mozzarella)
Organic cremini mushrooms, sliced
Peppered turkey bacon, chopped
Shallots, sliced
Fresh basil, sliced
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Add quinoa, spices, and broth to a food processor and blend until a thick paste forms (and you can no longer see the quinoa).
Spread on a parchment-lined baking tray (9×13) and bake for 15 minutes.
Remove, add toppings and bake for another 15 minutes.
*Note: if you’d like a thicker crust, bump up the quinoa to 1 ¼ c and vegetable broth to ¾ c.
