Quinoa Flour Bread Recipes

This high protein quinoa bread recipe is the best gluten free bread you'll ever taste! Loaded with protein, whole-grain flours and makes perfect sandwiches!

Gluten-free bread. Oh, gluten-free bread. How I love you. And how you make me crazy at times. You're so temperamental. Such an attitude. You sometimes turn out beautifully (like the Gluten-Free English Muffin Bread…hello, gorgeous!) and other times you're just flop. Yes, I'd say that we definitely have a love-hate relationship.

Gluten-free bread is something I've tried to tackle many, many times. I've shared some of my successes on the blog before (hello Gluten-Free Cinnamon Swirl Bread and Pumpkin Quinoa Bread), but there are also lots of failures that I haven't shared. I've tried to make gluten-free bread with no eggs: crumbly. I tried to make a banana oatmeal bread: didn't cook through. I hate to even think about how many ingredients I've wasted over the years.

High Protein Quinoa Sourdough Bread

But that's the price you pay when you can't eat gluten and you love bread. So when I finally nail the perfect sandwich bread, I just HAVE to share it. Enter my newest obsession: high protein quinoa bread!

My dilemma this time around was that I wanted a gluten-free bread that was lower in starch than my normal recipes, but also higher in protein. After a little research, it turns out, protein actually helps give gluten-free bread some of its structure, so we were in luck.

Really, it makes sense if you think about it. Gluten is a protein itself and is found in “regular” flour and forms when flour and water are combined. It turns into this stretchy, elastic thing that helps us make things like pasta, kneadable bread dough, and pizza dough that you can flip over your head. Basically, gluten helps give structure to the dough, especially in yeast bread, as they rely heavily on the formation of gluten.

No Knead Whole Wheat And Quinoa Bread

So taking that knowledge and switching to gluten-free flour, where there is none of this protein is available, adding more protein to your flour blend makes sense. I would even venture to say the more proteins you can add to your bread dough, often times the better. Or at least you'll have a better structure to your yeast bread.

Use a mixer: it can take a long time to beat your ingredients together, so I recommend a stand mixer or electric hand mixer

Don't expect the same texture: gluten-free bread “dough” is more like a batter, so don't expect something you can knead by hand

Skip the second rise: gluten-free bread doesn't need a second proof unlike other breads. Just one rise and then pop it in the oven to bake!

Keeping it fresh: gluten-free bread goes stale really quickly, so I like to only keep it on the counter for 1 day. Otherwise, I'll slice it and freeze it, then reheat in the toaster oven

And I will say, this is my new favorite bread recipe. It has a nice whole grain flavor, a perfect crumb and it toasts up beautifully. You could use it for sandwiches in your kiddos lunch boxes, you could have avocado toast for breakfast or you could make french toast next weekend. It's incredibly versatile, and is full of whole-grain goodies!

* If you don't have a warm place in your house to rise the bread, turn your oven for 2 minutes, then turn off and place bread inside.

** To toast your quinoa flour, preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread your quinoa flour onto the baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake for 1 - 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so, until the flour has turned golden brown.

Easy Gluten Free Focaccia Bread • Bakerita

The recipe that I'm sharing with you today is one of my favorites from my second book, The Gluten Free Quintessential Quinoa Cookbook. I've made it countless times and it has never failed me. (You can read the comments below - others agree!)

I have used my glass pans, but I've found the loaf comes out better when I cook it in my earthenware pans or my KitchenAid metal pan, which are a little deeper.

You can, but I don’t recommend it if you are looking for the texture of traditional bread. This recipe was intended to be a gluten-free bread that mimics traditional bread as closely as possible.

Yes! It takes about ¾ cup of whole quinoa seeds to make a cup of flour. To make quinoa flour, rinse the quinoa well and toast on a parchment lined baking sheet for about an hour at 250 degrees to dry out.

Grind in a clean coffee grinder, pulsing on and off. You can also make quinoa flour in some high speed blenders and food processors.

For best results, make sure you grind the flour long enough so that it is very fine, resembling the texture of regular flour.

If you have never made homemade bread before, I know the idea can be a little intimidating. Don't be scared! It is really very easy.

Next, you want to proof your yeast. To do this combine warm (but not too hot - about 100 to 105 degrees) water with your chosen sweetener.

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and beat on medium for three minutes. The mixture is going to be sticky - don't worry, this is normal.

If you are adding sesame seeds, you can sprinkle these on top now. (I didn't add them to this loaf because I was using the bread in a stuffing recipe.)

Hi, I’m Wendy! I’m a cook, 5 time cookbook author, blogger, natural health enthusiast…and most importantly a mom. My boys are 18 & 19 and my late life princess is 10.An almond flour bread that's high in protein, naturally gluten-free and dairy-free! It uses a hearty blend of almond flour, quinoa flour and flax.

We're baking bread today, my friends! And it's quite the feat for me because homemade bread hasn't happened in over a year at my house.

Quinoa Bread (vegan + Gluten Free)

I used to bake bread all the time, but honestly I think this past year laziness just got the better of me. I didn't feel like pulling out my stand mixer, proofing my yeast, waiting for the bread to rise and then waiting another hour while it bakes. So I just skipped it.

Since it's been so long since I made bread, I was feeling the need to change things up. I love my high-protein quinoa bread, but when the mood for bread struck I was still in major lazy mode. So the goal with this new recipe was to give you something that was easy and still really healthy.

So that's what we’ve got. A bread that bakes in just 30 minutes, doesn't require any yeast or rising, and is made in your food processor. There's no gluten or dairy AND it uses two super high-protein flours. I'm thinking you're going to be really excited when you see the recipe 😉
