Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

2 cups quinoa (uncooked)
1 cup oat flour*
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp himalayan pink salt
3 tbsp coconut oil or butter
2 cups any milk (I used unsweetened almond)
1 tbsp maple syrup or raw honey
1 tbsp any vinegar

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease 8" x 5" loaf tin with butter or coconut oil well.
In a high-speed blender or food processor, grind quinoa for a few minutes until flour forms. Transfer to a large mixing bowl along with oat flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt; stir very well. Add butter or coconut oil and stir until it is incorporated with dry ingredients in small pieces.
In a medium bowl, whisk milk, maple syrup and vinegar. Pour into a bowl with dry ingredients and mix well with spatula.
Transfer to a prepared loaf tin, level and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired. Bake for 60 minutes loosely covered with parchment paper for the first 30 minutes to prevent top from burning.
Remove from the oven and let cool for about an hour. Then loosen the sides with a knife, flip the tin and give a few gentle pats on a bottom. Bread should slide out and cool off completely before slicing.

Time 5h20m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 cup water
½ cup quinoa
1 ½ cups sourdough starter
1 cup milk
3 tablespoons honey
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon salt
2 cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1 teaspoon water, or as needed
⅛ cup rolled oats

Steps:

Bring 1 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
Whisk sourdough starter, milk, honey, olive oil, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cooked quinoa and mix until incorporated. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition to form long strands of gluten.
Knead dough for 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to make dough workable. Set bowl on the counter, cover with a cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
Punch dough down, shape into 2 loaves, and place into well greased and floured baking pans. Wet tops of loaves slightly and press oats into the surface. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Bake in the preheated oven until loaves sound hollow when you tap on the surface, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit in pans for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients: Fresh quinoa, whole wheat flour, and other ingredients will give your bread the best flavor and texture.
Measure your ingredients carefully: Baking is a science, and precise measurements are essential for success. Use a kitchen scale to weigh your ingredients for the most accurate results.
Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten in the flour, which gives the bread its structure and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5-7 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough needs time to rise in order to develop its full flavor and texture. Place the dough in a warm place, such as a sunny windowsill or near a warm oven, and let it rise until it has doubled in size.
Bake the bread at the correct temperature: The temperature of the oven is critical for baking bread. Bake the bread at the temperature specified in the recipe, and do not open the oven door during baking, as this can cause the bread to fall.

Conclusion:

Whole wheat quinoa bread is a delicious and nutritious bread that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and with a few simple tips, you can create a loaf of bread that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying bread, give whole wheat quinoa bread a try.
