Thai Pie image

Thai Pie uses a brown rice crust for pizza or pie, depending on which baking vessel you choose. It features some pad Thai flavors, such as peanuts, onion and crisp bean sprouts. Be sure to use fresh, not canned, mung bean sprouts for this. If you are really in a hurry, save time with quick-cooking brown rice, which is done in 15-20 minutes instead of the usual 45.
