Ingredients
- • warm water: 1 1/4 cups
- • active dry yeast: 2 teaspoons
- • honey or maple syrup: 1 tablespoon
- • whole wheat flour: 2 cups
- • cooked quinoa: 1 cup
- • spirulina powder: 1 tablespoon
- • sea salt: 1 teaspoon
- • sunflower seeds: 1/4 cup
- • chia seeds: 2 tablespoons
- • olive oil: 2 tablespoons
- • oat flour: 1/2 cup
Instructions
- 1 In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
- 2 Add the whole wheat flour, cooked quinoa, spirulina powder, and sea salt to the yeast mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
- 3 Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. During the last minute of kneading, incorporate the sunflower and chia seeds.
- 4 Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- 5 Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 6 Punch down the dough to release air. Shape it into a round loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- 7 Dust the top with oat flour and score the top of the loaf with a sharp knife.
- 8 Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the bread sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
- 9 Allow the bread to cool on a wire rack before slicing.
Serving Suggestions
- • This nutrient-packed bread pairs beautifully with a variety of wholesome toppings. Enjoy it toasted with a spread of avocado and cherry tomatoes for a refreshing breakfast. Pair it with a bowl of hearty vegetable soup for a comforting lunch. For a light dinner, serve slices alongside a vibrant salad of mixed greens, roasted vegetables, and a lemon-tahini dressing. Complement the meal with a glass of freshly pressed green juice or a herbal tea infused with lemon balm for a soothing finish.
Storage Tips
