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 goat cheese
• Fresh herbs
• Red pepper flakes

Directions

• Soak the quinoa in water, covering it by at least 1, for 6 - 8 hours.
• Once youre 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.
• Thoroughly rinse quinoa, then add to a blender. Add the ¼ cup of water, baking powder, salt and remaining olive oil, and blend on high until smooth and creamy. This should resemble a thick pancake batter.
• 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.
• Top with sauce, cheese and any other toppings youd like and bake for 12 - 15 minutes until cheese has melted and started to brown.
• Remove, let cool for a few minutes in the pan, transfer cutting board and slice.
• Garnish with herbs, pepper flakes, grated cheese, etc., and serve immediately!
