Author's Notes

I divided the toppings for this pizza into three sections and spread tomato sauce as the base under the toppings:

Section 1: soft goat cheese, sliced zucchini, thinly sliced red onion, and grape tomatoes halved.
Section 2: grated goat cheddar, nitrate-free pepperoni.
Section 3: grape tomatoes halved, burrata cheese, and fresh basil (added after baking).

Cooking Instructions

step 1
Place the Quinoa (2 1/2 cups) in a large bowl. Add enough water to cover the quinoa and let sit overnight or at least 8 hours. After 8 hours, drain the water and rinse the quinoa thoroughly with a wire mesh strainer, or pour it into a nutbag to rinse. Do not skip this step even if you are using 'pre-rinsed' quinoa. It won't work unless it's soaked for a long time to absorb water and soften.
