Mel’s Whole Wheat Quinoa Sandwich Bread

By on

A new recipe appeared on Mel’s Kitchen Cafe today. I’d been thinking I’d like to have some sandwich bread … soft bread as opposed to my crispy-crusted artisanal bread … and today: Mel’s Kitchen Café: Whole Wheat Quinoa Bread

A quick post of the photos (I made 1/3 recipe, i.e. 1 loaf pan):

First rise – I got in the middle of a work meeting and it went 2 3/4 hours … a bit of an overrise.

Shaped to go in the pan.

Second rise – ready to go in the oven.

Out of the oven (325 for 30 minutes convection). ***Next round I might let the second rise go a bit longer and bake 5 more minutes.

Ready to cut.

Yea – perfect texture, soft but hearty, made a good sandwich and good toast.

***Update 10/21. I made a sandwich yesterday (day old) and the bread was soft, but held together for the sandwich. I sliced and froze the remaining half loaf and today thawed two slices – again perfectly soft but stayed whole for a sandwich. This is the best sandwich loaf I’ve every made – so happy with this recipe!
