Ingredients

Instructions

  • Rinse quinoa and the soak it in cold water (about 3 cups) for at least 8 hours or overnight. Can be left on the counter. Once soaked, rinse it by leaving in the strainer for 10-15 minutes to get rid of any excess water.
  • 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 drained quinoa into a food processor.
  • Add gelled chia seeds (after soaking them), ⅓ cup of water, olive oil, sea salt, baking soda, ginger and cumin.
  • 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.
  • Spread pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds on top of the bread.
  • Bake for 50 minutes until the toothpick comes out clean and the loaf is 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.
