A pizza you can eat every single day without feeling sluggish and bloated afterwards? Yes please! Pizza is one of my all time favourite dishes so when I stopped eating gluten, corn, yeast and dairy, I had to find an alternative immediately. I am happy to report that I found the perfect quinoa vegetable pizza recipe that is not only healthy but also super easy to make. Not to forget delicious and it will satisfy all your pizza cravings. I’m having this pizza at least once a week and I absolutely love it.
The easiest vegan, gluten-free, corn-free and yeast-free pizza base
For the pizza base, you will only need 3 ingredients you probably already have in your pantry: Quinoa, water and a little bit of salt. I used white quinoa but you can use any quinoa you have at hand. Simply put the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour the batter into a round baking tin ( I used a cake tin) lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Take the pizza out of the baking tin, flip sides, remove parchment paper from the top and bake for another 20 minutes. I recommend flipping the pizza onto a normal baking tray with parchment paper.
add your favourite toppings
I love vegetables on pizza so I decided to go for a fried vegetables option. When you only add tomato sauce and vegetables to your pizza, I would recommend frying them in a pan first with spices, onion and garlic. I find that when you bake the vegetables on top of the pizza they can taste a bit bland and dry sometimes. Frying them adds such a lovely flavour and you can make sure all your vegetables are cooked properly. For the tomato sauce, I used the one from my Roasted Veggie Pasta recipe that you can find here. This is by far the best tomato sauce I’ve ever made.
