This crust was so easy to make and literally took me 5 minutes to prepare! I really don't know what possessed me to come up with such a weird concoction. I kind of just looked around in my empty pantry and saw oatmeal and quinoa flour and hoped it would taste good. Hey, if it's pizza, and it's healthy... I'm all in! I should let you all in on a little secret... that pizza sauce that you see in these pictures, isn't really pizza sauce. I was SO lazy and didn't feel like making sauce so instead I opened up a jar of organic Newman's salsa and threw it on top. I'm telling you this really was just a random concoction of stuff in my kitchen. Do I suggest you use salsa instead of pizza sauce? Ehhh . If you're just as lazy as me then go for it. Just keep in mind this is a healthy pizza, so it's obviously not going to be ooey, gooey, greasy, and chewy.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup oats, processed into flour using a food processor
1/4 cup quinoa flour
1/3 cup oats
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
less than 1/2 tsp salt (eyeball it to your liking)
2 tbsp water
2 egg whites
1/2 cup oats, processed into flour using a food processor
1/4 cup quinoa flour
1/3 cup oats
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
less than 1/2 tsp salt (eyeball it to your liking)
2 tbsp water
2 egg whites
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together; oat flour, quinoa flour, unprocessed oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together the egg whites and add them into the dry ingredients. Add the water, 1 tbsp at a time and knead with your hands to make the dough. You can always add more oats if you've added too much water and the dough is too sticky. Finally once you've made your dough, spread it out into about a 9 inch circle on a sprayed and lined pizza pan. I used olive oil spray on parchment paper. You may want to continue to wet your hands while spreading the dough because it has a tendency to get really sticky. Make sure the dough is around 1/2 an inch thick all the way around. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes. Remove it from the oven and spread your desired pizza sauce and toppings, then bake it again for another 10 minutes or until your toppings are cooked. Enjoy :)
