INGREDIENTS: (All measurements are by weight except TBS and tsp.)

QUINOA:

  • 3 oz uncooked quinoa, rinsed
  • 9 oz water

DOUGH:

  • 9 oz bread flour
  • 9 oz whole-wheat flour
  • 2¼ tsps instant or rapid-rise yeast
  • 2 tsps salt
  • 9 oz whole milk
  • 3 oz water
  • 2 oz honey
  • 2 oz vegetable oil

EGGWASH:

  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 TBS water

       

      DIRECTIONS:

      STEP 1:

      QUINOA: Mix quinoa and water in a saucepan, simmer and cover. Cook for 10-12 minutes over low heat. Take the pan off the heat, remove the lid and stir. Let sit to cool slightly and water is completely absorbed for 10-20 minutes.

      STEP 2:

      DOUGH: Whisk bread flour, whole-wheat flour, yeast and salt in the stand mixer bowl. Whisk milk, honey, oil and water in a medium glass bowl. On low speed, mix the ingredients altogether by adding wet ingredients slowly into the flour mixture until cohesive, about 2 minutes. Scrape down bowl as needed.

      STEP 3:

      Knead on medium-low until dough is smooth and elastic and slightly sticky for about 6 minutes. Reduce speed to low and while the mixer is still running add cooked quinoa slowly until fully incorporated for about 3 minutes.

      STEP 4:

      Transfer the dough to a lightly floured kneading board. Knead by hand using stretch and fold method for 30 seconds until quinoa is fully distributed and dough is smooth and forms into a ball.

      STEP 5:

      Place the dough in a large glass bowl seam side down. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise for 1 ½ to 2 hours or until double its size. Press down dough to deflate and remove large air bubbles.

      STEP 6:

      Press the dough into a rectangle that can fit its width in a 8 ½ by 4 ½ inch loaf pan. Roll the rectangular dough into a cylinder and pinch seam closed.

      STEP 7:

      Place in a lightly greased loaf pan, cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 to 1 ½ hours or until loaf reaches the tip of the pan. Gently brush the surface of the loaf with egg wash.

      STEP 8:

      Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown in color. Remove the pan from the oven, gently turns the loaf out onto a cooling rack.
