Directions:Combine the quinoa and 2¼ cups water in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer. Cover and let cook for 10-12 minutes. Take the pan off the heat, remove the lid, stir the quinoa, and let it stand for 10-20 minutes.
In a stand mixer, combine the wheat flour, gluten, yeast, and salt. Mix.
Add the milk, ¾ C water, honey and oil. Continue mixing; the dough will start out looking very crumbly and come together in a stiff mass. It will soften as the quinoa is added.
Spoon in the warm quinoa while the mixer is running. Gradually add all the quinoa and any excess water (there shouldn't be much; most of it should have absorbed in the quinoa).
Continue to mix until the dough comes together and forms a soft ball of dough that clears the sides and bottom of the bowl. If for some reason (and this can depend on elevation, humidity, temperature, etc), the dough is sticky and wet, gradually add ¼ C of flour at a time until it forms a ball of dough that clears the sides of the bowl - but avoid adding extra flour unless you really need to.
Let the dough knead for 7-9 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl or container, cover, and let it rise until double.
Lightly punch down the dough and portion into three equal loaves, about 32-35 ounces each. Form the dough into loaves by patting each piece into a thick rectangle and rolling it up, pressing with the heel of your hand to get rid of air bubbles and form a taut loaf.
Place the loaves in greased 8½-inch by 4½-inch loaf pans. Let rise, covered, until 1-inch above the rim of the pan.
Preheat the oven to 350º and bake for 30-35 minutes. Remove the pans from the oven and gently turn the loaves. |
