Honey Quinoa Bread Recipes

QUINOA BREAD RECIPE

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.

HONEY QUINOA BREAD

Steps:

• Rinse quinoa well then proceed with recipe.
• Cook the 1 cup of quinoa in the 2 cups of water 10 to 15 minutes or until water is absorbed, cool to room temperature.
• Cook the oatmeal in the water and milk and let cool to room temperature.
• Place the 3/4 cup of warm water and honey in large bowl (or in bowl of stand mixer) and mix in the dry yeast, let proof 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in oil, powdered milk and sourdough starter (if using) into yeast mixture with wooden spoon (or dough hook on low speed if using).
• Add 1 cup of bread flour and salt and mix well.
• Add cooled quinoa and oatmeal and stir.
• Add whole wheat flour and another cup of bread flour and mix well. When dough starts to get stiff turn out onto floured surface and continue to knead adding flour as needed to achieve a smooth elastic slightly tacky dough. Follow same directions if using dough hook on stand mixer to achieve same end results.
• Form dough into a ball and place into a large oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in warm place and let rise until doubled, 1 or 2 hours depending on the warmth of your kitchen.
• Punch dough down, form into desired shape and let rise second time until almost doubled again.
• Brush top with water or egg wash and sprinkle top with raw quinoa.
• Place in preheated 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until load is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on bottom.
• Cover with foil if browning to fast.

WHOLE-WHEAT QUINOA BREAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yeast and water and stir until dissolved. Stir in the agave syrup and molasses. Whisk in the flours, 1 cup at a time. Stir or whisk this mixture 100 times, for about two minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula, cover the bowl with plastic and leave to rise in a warm spot for one hour, until bubbly.
• Add the oil to the sponge and fold in, using a large spoon or spatula. Add the salt and fold in. Fold in the quinoa, then fold in 2 cups of the whole-wheat flour. Place another 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour on your work surface, then scrape out the dough. Use a paddle to help fold the dough over while kneading until it has absorbed the flour on your work surface. Flour your hands, and knead the dough for 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until it is elastic and springs back when you press it with your finger. It will be dense and sticky. Shape the dough into a ball. Rinse and dry your bowl, and coat it with oil. Place the dough in it, then flip the dough over so that it is coated with oil. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap, and set in a warm spot to rise for one hour or until doubled.
• Punch down the dough, cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise again for 45 minutes to an hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Divide the dough into two parts, and shape into loaves. Place half of the sesame seeds on your work surface, and gently roll the rounded side of one loaf over them so that they stick. Repeat with the remaining sesame seeds and the other loaf. Oil two 9-by-5-inch bread pans, and place the loaves in the pans, first seam side up, then seam side down. Cover with a damp towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes, or until the surface of the loaves rises above the edges of the bread pans.
• Gently brush the loaves with egg wash. Using a sharp knife, cut two or three 1/2-inch-deep slashes across the top of each loaf. (If this causes the loaves to deflate, let them sit for another 15 to 20 minutes.) Bake 50 to 55 minutes, brushing again halfway through with egg wash. The bread is done when it is golden brown and responds to tapping with a hollow sound. Remove from the pans and cool on a rack.
