This recipe is fun! It's easy to do, though be sure to oil those pans, lol. The result can be a great pizza crust, or simply a tasty flatbread!

Quinoa Pizza Crust or
Flatbread
Ingredients:
2 8" Pie Pans
1.5 cups quinoa & Water to cover. Soak overnight.
1/2 cup water
coconut flour
1 tsp sea-salt
1/4 cup olive oil (or grapeseed, or coconut)**
Optional: seasonings... I used 2 Tbsp fresh minced garlic & 1 tsp Mrs Dash
Garlic & Herb.
Directions:
Add water to quinoa and soak overnight.
Drain quinoa. Preheat oven to 450. Oil
pans (I sprayed mine to reduce the oil).
Place the drained quinoa, water and salt in a blender and blend until
creamy. It'll look like pancake batter.
Add seasonings if desired.
Place pans in oven until shimmery hot, but not smoking. Remove from oven.
Divide batter between the two pans and tap a bit to settle the level to
even.
Bake 20 minutes, then flip the crust over and bake another 10. They'll be
brown & crispy.
Recipe makes 2 crusts. With each crust cut into 4 pieces, the nutritional
info is for one "slice" (1/8th of the recipe).
**I used nowhere near this amount. I used my Misto, and gave each pan a good
spray and that was plenty.
