Alright, I know I said I'd stop sharing easy bread recipes to make at home 😅, but I craved a hearty morning bread that's packed with nutrients for our bodies, full of fiber, with flaxseed, quinoa, etc. So here it is 😍! Quinoa includes all 9 essential amino acids, making it one of the easiest foods to ensure we're not missing any! Not every day, no pressure—but it's handy to know that. I love adding it to meatballs, veggie burgers, and in this case, bread 😍💕

I'm not the type to count or calculate anything for my diet; every food has a place in a balanced and varied diet. Balance isn't achieved in one meal, but over several days 🌱. So don't stress about getting specific nutrients in every meal. Tomato sauce pasta has never killed anyone ❤️.

But as we often wonder if we're getting enough fiber, omega-3s, essential amino acids, proteins, etc., it's nice to know which foods have them and to have good recipes to enjoy them easily. This bread does just that: quinoa, flaxseed, oats, and whole wheat to give you plenty of good things to power your wonderful brain and those lovely legs of yours!

Steps

Mix the lukewarm water and yeast, then let it rest for 10 minutes in a warm spot (like in the sun or in your turned-off oven with the light on). A foam will form on top.
In a blender, mix the raw quinoa, flax seeds, and oats to make a powder.
In a bowl (or the bowl of your mixer if you're using one), pour in this powder, the whole wheat flour, water with yeast, and salt. Knead the dough for 2 minutes until you get a smooth, lovely ball. Let it rest for 1 hour and 30 minutes under a damp cloth in a warm place.
Deflate the dough and place it on your work surface. Shape it into a rectangle and roll it up to form a log. You can coat the dough with oats for decoration. Place the log in a greased and floured loaf pan. Let it rest for 30 minutes under a damp cloth.
Bake the bread at 355°F (180°C) for 50 minutes. Let it cool, then remove from the pan! It's ready. It will keep for 3 days at room temperature. You can also freeze it in slices to have some on hand 😍
