All the pizza lovers, please raise your hands! The best part of this pizza… is that it is a quinoa pizza! Big shoutout to @buzzfeedtasty for the recipe! Enjoy this guilt-free way to have pizza!
INGREDIENTS:
• 2 ½ cups of rinsed Quinta quinoa(425 g), uncooked
• 2 ½ cups water(600 mL), divided, plus more for soaking quinoa
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese(30 g)
• nonstick cooking spray
• 1 cup pizza sauce(260 g)
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese(200 g)
PREPARATION:
• Place the quinoa in a medium bowl. Add enough water to cover the quinoa, about 1½ cups (360 ml).
• Cover with plastic wrap and soak, at room temperature, for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
• Drain and rinse the quinoa.
• Add the quinoa, 1 cup (240 ml) of water, the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese to a food processor. Blend for about 2 minutes, or until a smooth batter forms.
• Pour the batter onto the baking sheet, using a spatula to spread evenly.
• Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Flip the crust, remove the parchment paper, and bake for 10 minutes more, or until golden brown.
• Top the crust with the pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese, then add your favourite toppings.
• Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and slightly brown.
• Cut pizza into squares and serve.
