Fabulous Quinoa Pizza Crust (Vegan, Gluten-Free)

Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine mesh sieve, letting it drain completely.

Add the rinsed quinoa and 1/3 cup water to a high-power blender or food processor, along with the sea salt and baking powder. Blend the ingredients until a smooth and thick batter forms, scraping down the sides as needed.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Line a round 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with additional olive oil.

Pour 1 tbsp of olive oil into the pan, spreading it evenly over the parchment paper.

Pour the quinoa batter into the greased pizza pan, using a spatula to spread it out in an even and thin layer.

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges start to turn golden brown and the center is firm.

Carefully remove the pan from the oven, and using a large spatula or your hands, gently flip the crust over.

Return the flipped crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Remove the pan from the oven, and top the pizza crust with your choice of vegan or regular toppings.

Bake the topped pizza for an additional 5-10 minutes or until your toppings have cooked through and are golden.

Remove the pizza from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve.
