Vegetable oil 25 gr
Olive oil 15 gr
Milk 3.25% 170 ml
Water 200 ml
Egg 1 pc
Sugar 10 gr


➡ Method of Cooking:

✅ Cooking the Quinoa

Usually, quinoa is cooked with a ratio of 1:2 but for bread, I prefer to cook it 1:1. This ratio will make the bread moist enough without drying it as if you would make it with not cooked quinoa.

It is always a good thing to go over the quinoa because there are sometimes small stones and dirt. Then rinse the quinoa under cold water for a few minutes to clean it. Put a pot on the stove and add the quinoa to it.

Add vegetable oil, salt, bay leaves, and room temperature water 1:1 ratio. Cover with a lid and bring everything to boil.

When boiling, reduce the heat and cook for 12 minutes. Then close the heat and let the quinoa steam for about five minutes before opening it with a fork. The quinoa should be at room temperature before adding it to the dough.

✅ For the Dough

Make a starter with the yeast, some of the water, sugar, and two tablespoons of flour. Let the starter sit and activate. In the meantime, mix the flour with the salt and create a whole in the middle to which we will add the liquids.

When the starter rose, add it to the flour and then add the milk and the rest of the water. The total percentage of liquids should be 60% of the total flour.

Start mixing with a fork and then when the dough starts to incorporate, add from the quinoa, and start kneading with your hands. When the dough comes together, bring the dough to a table, and start kneading it for about 45 minutes.

While kneading the dough, it will be sticky, and you should put oil on your hands so it would not stick too much. The olive oil in the recipe is going into the dough, the vegetable oil that I wrote is the oil that you should use while kneading the dough.

When the bread dough is ready, grease a bowl with some oil and cover the dough. Proof for about one hour in the oven with the light on. Then take the dough out of the bowl and split it into portions (I did two loaves, one 600gr & 400gr).

Refer to the video for the shaping technique of the loaf. Place them in the plates or bread baskets, cover with a towel, and let them proof for a second time for about 40 minutes also in the oven.

After the second proof, transfer the loaves to a tray, brush with egg yolk, and cut with a sharp knife the side of the loaf so it will be able to rise consistently and evenly. Then add some of the cooked quinoa on top.

✅ Baking Instructions

Bake in a preheated oven to 190c or 380f for about 2025 minutes depending on the size of the loaves. I baked mine for 25 minutes. If you have a thermometer, look for an internal temperature of 98c or 205f. After baking, let the bread rest for about 1520 minutes before cutting it.

✅ Enjoy.
