Whole Wheat Quinoa Pizza Dough (Ashley Pasko)

1 ½ c hot water
2 T yeast
3 T honey
2 T olive oil
1 T salt
4+ cups wheat flour
1 c steamed quinoa
3 egg whites

Combine water, yeast and honey in mixer or large bowl. Let sit 10 minutes. Add rest and mix, adding more flour until dough cleans the sides of the bowl. Knead 10 minutes. Let rise 1 hour. Divide into 3 portions and roll into pizza crusts. Cover with sauce, cheese and toppings and let sit for 5 minutes. Bake 500 degrees until crust is brown and cheese is bubbly.
** Can be made into breakfast bars by adding cinnamon, dried fruit, nuts and seeds. My favorite is dried cranberries, coconut, flax meal, walnuts and pepitas. I shape them into bars and drizzle them with a little honey before baking, too.
