Rinse the quinoa thoroughly under cold water and cook it according to the package instructions. Let it cool completely before using.
In a small bowl, mix the warm water with the yeast and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, cooked quinoa, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, warm milk, and honey.
Mix the ingredients together until a shaggy dough forms.
Add the butter to the dough and knead it on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise for 60-90 minutes or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a cloth and let the dough rise again for 30-40 minutes until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 190Β°C (375Β°F).
Brush the top of the dough with the beaten egg for a golden crust.
Bake the bread for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bread sounds hollow when tapped.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
