Ingredients

Instructions

  • Soak quinoa in cold water (about 3 cups) for at least 8 hours or overnight. Rinse soaked quinoa well and drain well using a strainer. Set aside
  • Soak chia seed in ⅔ cup water until gel like - this can be done half an hour ahead.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper on all sides and the base.
  • Place the drained quinoa into a food processor.
  • Add gelled chia seeds (after soaking them), ¼ cup of water, olive oil, sea salt, lemon juice, ginger, cumin, ancho chili pepper, coriander.
  • Mix in a food processor for 3 minutes (pause after each minute in order not to overheat the processor). The bread mix should resemble a batter consistency with some whole quinoa still left in the mix.
  • Spoon into a lined loaf can.
  • Bake for 50 minutes until firm to touch and bounces back when pressed with your fingers.
  • Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes. Then remove from the loaf pan and cool completely on a rack. The bread should be slightly moist in the middle and crisp on the outside. Cool completely before eating.
  • Serve delicate slices only when cold with a serrated knife. 

Notes

TO FREEZE: Slice the bread and arrange slices on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet into your freezer for at least 2 hours. Once the slices are frozen, store in a freezer bag. Squeeze as much air out of the freezer bag as possible.
