Bread is not a product I can eat nowadays. I gave up processed foods and sugars and by doing that I discovered a gluten allergy. Occasionally I miss eating certain types of breads. Salty bread with rosemary or mixed herbs was always a favourite of mine. Since I discovered my gluten allergy to eat bread I started to look at different ways to make a loaf.
In recent year I’ve found quinoa and other grains to be a good flour replacement. Quinoa is a great plant based source of protein. It’s also a high source of fibre and it is packed with antioxidants. It does have a very nutty flavour that is brought out when mixed with the miso paste. The recipe is based on another quinoa loaf I made a few years ago. All I did was change a few of the ingredients from a previous recipe and it made this yummy bread. Below is a recipe and video for you.

Miso Quinoa Loaf was an easy bread to prepare and bake. I ate this bread with salads and soups. It could also be made into a sandwich as well. All of the ingredients in this loaf are freezable to you could make a big batch. Then cut the bread into chunks and freeze the chunks individually. However you decide to eat this dish, as always, please enjoy. Thank you xxx
