Step-by-step method

At a glance

You're making a gluten-free pizza with a quinoa crust that starts with an overnight soak, so plan ahead. The dough comes together quickly with a simple blend, then you'll bake the crust twice — flipping it halfway through — before topping it and finishing with a final quick bake until the edges turn golden.

  1. 1/7

    Soak the quinoa

    Put a cup of quinoa in a pot, pour in about 2 cups of water and let it soak overnight to swell up (it won't swell as much as you might expect from, say, soaking lentils).

    Ingredients

    • 200 gram Quinoa
    • 400 milliliter Water
  2. 2/7

    Drain the quinoa

    In the morning, drain the water from the quinoa and transfer it to a tall mixing bowl.

  3. 3/7

    Blend until smooth

    Add the remaining ingredients and blend for about 5 minutes. You'll end up with a batter that's a bit thicker than pancake batter. I never managed to get it completely smooth — you'll still notice a slightly grainy texture — but that's absolutely fine.

    Ingredients

    • 0.5 teaspoon Baking Powder
    • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
    • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
    • 50 gram Water

About this recipe

I've had a bag of quinoa sitting in my kitchen for about 2 months now, and somehow I never came across a recipe that really grabbed me. Until yesterday, that is. This recipe caught my interest so much that I soaked the quinoa in water that evening, and the next morning I got started on the prep, which turned out to be incredibly simple.
