When I first started blogging, like a hundred bajillion years ago (kidding it was only four), I was intent on creating unique quinoa recipes that would grab people’s attention and make them hungry just thinking about it.

Problem was…people eat with their eyes and my photography was downright terrible.

So while my recipes might have been stellar, they certainly were far from appetizing (i.e. definitely not pin worthy) and didn’t get the recognition that I had hoped they would.

But I have some gems way back in those archives. Recipes I know you would adore, but I’m far too embarrassed to ever bring to your attention. Instead, I’m going to remake some of those oldies, give them a new spin and definitely provide a little facelift as far as the photography is concerned.

My first one had to be this quinoa pizza crust.

It’s so tasty and I’ve made it a hundred times, yet for some reason I haven’t taken the time to repost it. It’s probably because we inhale it the moment it comes out of the oven. Oops!

Now that I’m full-time food blogging (woot woot), I actually have time during the day to make dinner recipes and photograph them. It just means we have to reheat leftovers for dinner, but that’s okay. Matt does a good job and not complaining…too much at least.

Okay, let’s talk about this pizza crust.

Usually making gluten-free pizza crust is such a chore. You need to find a good flour blend, your need to proof your yeast, you need to let your dough rise, then you need to par-bake it, and finally bake it again with your toppings. Time consuming, messy and lots of room for error.

Or on the other hand you can make this! It’s only 5-ingredients, can be made in your blender, doesn’t require any mixing, proofing, waiting, NADA. Just whizz it up, pour it in your pan and bake.

EASY. PEASY.

The base of the recipe is quinoa that has been soaked for 6 – 8 hours. While that might seem like a long time and deter you, think about it this way:

When you’re making your cup of joe in the morning, just pull out some quinoa, put it in a bowl, cover it with water and let it sit. Then when you come home and are ready to make dinner, just rinse, blend and bam. Pizza done, dinner served, minimal effort required.

Don’t you just love dinners like that!?

While we might have gone plain jane with our pizza – just sauce and goat cheese – there’s no end to the possibilities. This quinoa pizza crust stands up to it all. So layer it on, go wild and have a fabulous pizza night!
