As long you remember to soak the quinoa ahead of time, you can have fresh pizza crust in a manner of minutes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Top it with anything you like \u2013 go traditional with pizza sauce, cheese (dairy-free works too!), and a bit of pepperoni or sausage, or you can top with a variety of healthy vegetables. It\u2019s also delicious for breakfast, topped with eggs,\u00a0bacon, and a vegetable or two.
