Method

1.Place quinoa in a bowl and cover with cold water. Soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse well.

2.Preheat oven to very hot, 240°C. Line two large oven trays with baking paper.

3.Place quinoa, baking powder, salt, water and oil in a high-powered blender, then whizz until smooth.

4.Heat a greased 30cm-wide, 25cm-base frying pan over medium heat. Cook half the quinoa mixture in pan for 5 minutes or until golden. Turn base-side up onto one tray. Repeat with remaining mix. Bake bases for 15 minutes or until crisp, swapping trays halfway through cooking.

5.Combine passata and paprika in a bowl. Spread over bases. Top with ham, cheeses, broccolini, chilli and olives.
