Preparation
- Place the quinoa in a medium bowl. Add enough water to cover the quinoa, about 1½ cups (360 ml).
- Cover with plastic wrap and soak, at room temperature, for at least 8 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with nonstick cooking spray.
- Drain and rinse the quinoa.
- Add the quinoa, 1 cup (240 ml) of water, the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and Parmesan cheese to a food processor. Blend for about 2 minutes, or until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter onto the baking sheet, using a spatula to spread evenly.
- Bake the crust for 15 minutes. Flip the crust, removing the parchment paper, and bake for 10 minutes more, or until golden brown.
- Top the crust with the pizza sauce and mozzarella cheese, then add your favorite toppings.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for another 5-10 minutes, or until cheese bubbling and slightly brown.
- Cut pizza into squares and serve.
- Enjoy!
