Hi, Is there a substitute for Psyllium husk? I don’t have on hand but have Xanthan gum. Thanks
Gagan, psyllium husk is very different from Xanthan gum. However you can try ground flaxseed or ground chia seed.
Disappointed in texture- followed the recipe carefully but the first indication of a problem when the “thick batter” promised at the end of mixing was instead like putty. Sadly it was still a little like putty when cooked, although it held together and tasted ok.
Miranda, the only thing that I can think of is did you use Psyllium husk, NOT powder. And when you measured the flour did you fill your measuring cup with a spoon and levelled it off with a knife? Not scooping out the flour with the measuring cup. I make the quinoa pizza crust at least once a week, and the texture is good.
