Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   For the pizza dough, cook the quinoa in approx. 200 ml boiling salted water for approx. 7 minutes. Remove from the heat, let it stand for about 15 minutes and then let it cool down. Crumble the yeast and dissolve in approx. 250 ml lukewarm water while stirring.

2. 2

   Mix flour, 1 tablespoon sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add yeast water, 2 tablespoons of oil, vinegar and quinoa. Mix everything with the dough hooks of the mixer on a low setting, then knead on the highest setting and finally quickly knead to a dough with your hands.

3. 3

   Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.

4. 4

   Peel and finely chop the onion. Wash and drain the spinach. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a saucepan. Fry the onion until transparent. Add the spinach, cover and let it collapse briefly (takes about 1 minute).

5. 5

   Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Preheat oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/circulating air: 180 °C/gas: see manufacturer). Line two baking trays with baking paper. Knead the dough again, cut in half. Form halves into 1 ball each and roll out onto a lightly floured work surface with a cake roll to form pizza pies (approx. 34 cm Ø each).

7. 7

   Place pizza bases on one baking tray each. Pre-bake in the hot oven tray by tray for about 10 minutes.

8. 8

   In the meantime wash and clean the zucchini and cut them into thin slices. Wash the asparagus and cut off about 2 cm of the woody ends. Peel the asparagus lengthwise into strips with an asparagus peeler. Roughly pluck the mozzarella.

9. 9

   Remove the pizza bases from the oven. Spread with herb cream-fraîche. Cover with zucchini, asparagus, spinach and mozzarella. Bake the pizzas again tray by tray in the hot oven for about 10 minutes. Take them out.

10. 10

    Sprinkle with coarse pepper - and off goes the quinoa pizza party.
