Quinoa Flatbread Pizza Crust (Gluten-Free, Vegan)

Quinoa (kēn’wä, from Quechua kinwa or kinuwa) is a species of the goosefoot genus (Chenopodium quinoa), a grain crop grown primarily for its edible seeds. It is a pseudocereal, similar in some respects to buckwheat, rather than a true cereal, as it is not a member of the true grass family. As a chenopod, quinoa...

Olive oil is a fat obtained from the olive (the fruit of Olea europaea; family Oleaceae), a traditional tree crop of the Mediterranean Basin. The oil is produced by pressing whole olives. It is commonly used in cooking, whether for frying or as a salad dressing. It is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soaps,...

Water is a transparent and nearly colorless chemical substance that is the main constituent of Earth's streams, lakes, and oceans, and the fluids of most living organisms. Its chemical formula is H2O, meaning that its molecule contains one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, that are connected by covalent bonds. Water strictly refers to the liquid...

The night before preparing this pizza, measure out your uncooked quinoa, place in a bowl, cover with water, cover bowl &amp; let soak overnight.

The next day the quinoa should have absorbed most of the water. Rinse &amp; drain the soaked quinoa &amp; set aside.

Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, drizzle olive oil on parchment, set aside.

In a food processor, combine quinoa, water, garlic, baking powder &amp; salt. Blend until a smooth batter is formed.

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).

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.

Top your pizza with your choice of ingredients* &amp; return to the oven.

Bake for 10 more minutes &amp; then turn on the broiler for 2-4 minutes, or until crust is desired golden bubbling crispiness.

Enjoy!

Might be a bit tricky to get at same thickness (at least it was for me); but this is great tasting and much better for you than traditional gluten free mixes found in stores!

Yay! A healthy easy delicious gluten free pizza crust!!
Thank you so much.
