This quinoa bread recipe is the ultimate ‘effortless’ quick bread for novice cooks and ‘lazy bakers’. There’s no yeast or gluten involved, meaning no proofing, kneading, rising, etc. Instead, this quinoa flour bread is closer to a quinoa soda bread; combining the ingredients with baking powder and baking soda to provide lift in a bread dough that is more batter-like in consistency.

Plus, with a combination of quinoa flour and oat flour, this bread is naturally gluten-free—meaning you don’t even have to worry about over-kneading the dough. You may also like the combination of quinoa and oats in quinoa granola bars!

Unlike other gluten-free bread, there are no specialty ingredients (like xanthan gum or psyllium husk) either! Instead, this gluten-free quinoa flour bread recipe relies on a combination of 8 simple ingredients and pantry staples.

Once baked, this quinoa flour bread is slightly chewy with an earthy, nutty flavor, perfect for flavorful toast! Best of all, by using quinoa flour, this yeast-free bread recipe replaces empty and nutrient-poor grains and ingredients with a seed packed with fiber, protein, and heart-healthy fats.

When cooking with quinoa, many recipes start by rinsing the quinoa to remove the bitter saponins from the outside of the seed. In many cases now, quinoa is pre-rinsed. However, if you want to make sure, then rinse the quinoa the day before or rinse, pat dry, and then place in the oven at its’ lowest temperature until dried before grinding into a flour.

Gluten Free Rye Bread

This gluten-free quinoa flour bread batter is more like a batter/quick bread batter than bread dough and should be thick but not knead-able.

You can then use the bread any way you would regular bread. I think it works particularly well for toast with the toppings of your choice. Delicious!

Don’t add too many ‘extras’ to this quinoa bread recipe; otherwise, it may lead to crumbly bread. Make sure all the add-ins are small and easily sliceable.

Buckwheat Chia Bread

Yes, you could use spelt flour or whole wheat flour instead. However, the bread will be slightly drier, with a nuttier flavor – so I prefer oat flour.

I tested several flour combinations for this recipe. However, quinoa flour and oat flour worked best as quinoa is quite dry, yet oat flour is more ‘gluey’ and acts as an excellent binder for the gluten-free quinoa bread.

It’s very simple to prepare quinoa flour at home. All you need to do is transfer the quinoa to a high-speed blender (preferred) or food processor and process until floury. It seems to take a lot longer in a food processor, so be patient.

This may be due to unwashed quinoa (to remove saponins) or the brand of baking powder used. I haven’t had this issue, though.

As mentioned above, this bread works great for a gluten free breakfast toast! Here are some fun ways to top your quinoa flour bread:

Make ahead: You can prepare the batter up to a day in advance (except the leavening agents) and store it in the fridge, covered. Then, when you want to bake, stir in the leavening agents, and add an extra splash or so of milk as needed (as the oats and quinoa will have soaked up more liquid overnight)- then bake.

Storing: Store the quinoa flour bread in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. If the bread gets soggy around the edges, toasting lightly will ‘revive’ and give it a crunch.

Freeze: You can freeze the loaf whole or slices (with parchment paper between the slices to avoid sticking). Store in a zip lock bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To use, you can allow the bread to thaw at room temperature or thaw/reheat individual slices in a toaster oven or microwave as and when needed.

How To Make Quinoa Flour (quick And Easy)

It’s safe to say that we almost don’t buy store-bought gluten-free bread anymore (because hey, it’s usually crazy expensive, but worse of all, dry, dense and flavorless!).

When previously baking yeast breads seemed like a scary task to embark on, I now bake a loaf of yeast bread almost every week.

Some of our favorite gluten-free bread recipes include this crazy good gluten-free white bread, our super popular buckwheat bread, and most recently, this brown rice bread as well as this sorghum bread.

Sourdough Honey Quinoa Bread Recipe

This time, I wanted to make yeast quinoa bread. I’ve already made a quick bread with quinoa flakes before, and now I wanted to use quinoa flour.

While it is technically a seed, quinoa is also known as a pseudo-cereal because it is similar in nutrients and eaten in the same way as most grains. While there are over 3, 000 types of quinoa, the three most commonly found types are white quinoa, red quinoa, or black quinoa.

Quinoa is regarded by many as a superfood, because of the high levels of nutrients it contains, and because it’s a protein-packed food.

Quinoa is thankfully gluten-free, and is often used as a gluten-free alternative for rice and other grains. This means that Celiacs and those with gluten intolerances or allergies can enjoy quinoa without any worries (YAY)!

Basing this yeast quinoa bread recipe off my hugely popular buckwheat bread recipe, I used a mix of quinoa flour along with gluten-free all-purpose flour to create this yeast quinoa bread that is absolutely delicious!

We love just how fluffy, tender and moist it is (unlike most store-bought gluten-free breads that are expensive, hard, and dense), and how adding quinoa flour increases the amount of protein you get with each slice!

Homemade Gluten Free Bread • Bakerita

In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum (if using), quinoa flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk well to combine.

Add the oil, apple cider vinegar, warm water and eggs, and whisk well for a couple of minutes until you get a dough that resembles cake batter (the dough will be sticky and wet, but it’s totally fine).

Cover the loaf pan with a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for 40 to 45 minutes until it has domed and has almost doubled in size.

White Quinoa Flour

Once the dough is done rising, bake it for 55 to 60 minutes, until the bread is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing it, and then let it fully cool at room temperature on a wire rack before slicing into it with a serrated knife.

No, I do not recommend using only quinoa flour as the texture will be denser compared to when you use a mix of both gluten-free all-purpose flour and quinoa flour. This will create the soft, fluffy and tender texture that we are aiming for.
