Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Whole wheat flour
- 100 grams Spelt flour
- 75 grams Quinoa flour
- 50 grams Teff flour
- 15 grams Chia seeds
- 10 grams Salt
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 30 ml Olive oil
- 300 ml Warm water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, spelt flour, quinoa flour, and teff flour. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the flours.
Add chia seeds, salt, and instant yeast to the flour mixture. Stir until combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the olive oil followed by the warm water.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a dough begins to form.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded 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 it has doubled in size.
After the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess air. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it in a lightly greased 9x5 inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan and let it rise for another 30 minutes, or until it has noticeably increased in size.
Preheat your oven to 190 degrees Celsius (375 degrees Fahrenheit).
Once the oven is ready, bake the bread for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
