Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a medium bowl, soak quinoa in cold water for about 5 minutes, then drain using a fine-mesh strainer. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa with 1 1/3 cups water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave covered on the burner for another 20 minutes. Fluff with a fork and allow to cool.

Mix the warm water and sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the oil, salt and yeast. Mix in the flaxseed meal that's been mixed with water and the cooked quinoa. Blend in the flour, starting with 3 1/2 cups. Work in another 1/4 cup of flour. Grab the dough with a clean, dry hand to test stickiness. (If the flour sticks to your hand but pulls off, you have enough flour in the dough. If the dough remains stuck to your hand, add more flour.) Continue adding small amounts of flour, doing the "sticky test" after each addition (you should not require more than 4 cups of flour in total).

Roll dough into a log, and cut it into 3 pieces. Form the pieces of dough into balls. Place the dough in a bowl that has been lightly sprayed with cooking oil or greased and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Place in a warm area to let rise for 15 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease individual pizza pans and press the dough evenly into the pans. Decorate with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings, and bake on the center rack for 25-30 minutes. If using cheese or nondairy cheese, remove the pizza from the oven when the cheese bubbles and the crust is golden brown.

Freeze unused portions of dough in resealable freezer bags for up to 3 months. To prepare leftover dough, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Place the dough in a bowl that has been lightly sprayed with cooking oil or grease, cover with a dishcloth and allow the dough to rise as above.
