Pear Quinoa Chai spice Bread loaf, is a mildly sweet yeast bread with a hint of chai spice. There is cooked quinoa in every slice, this makes for an amazing breakfast addition as is, or as a french toast. (The quickest french toast.. make thin pancake batter, add spices, dip, and pan fry)
 


 
Sometimes I think too much about what I should and should not post.. Like this bread, since I keep making similar breads pretty much every week, and the Everything Oatmeal cookie yesterday. There is something a bit new though about every recipe.. so here goes. This bread has Pear puree for moist softness, a good load of quinoa, and  chai spice for a hint of magical taste in each slice and some bread flour to get it all together.
 
 
You can use stevia or artificial sweeteners in this bread since it has some natural sugar from the fruit. For proofing the yeast(step 1), add a teaspoon of flour instead of sugar and let it get frothy. Then add sweetener equivalent to 2 Tablespoons raw sugar.

Thank you all. And Wish you a Happy Valentines day!
If you havent made anything yet, you should whip up some Chocolate cake for 1, put a large block of dark chocolate in the center of the batter and voila, you get a molten lava cake! Top it with some fresh strawberries and cream.

    • yes you can.. use about 1/3 to 1/2 cup quinoa flour. You might need some few Tablespoons extra water, since the cooked quinoa has extra moisture which will not be there in the flour. Add water while kneading to get a soft dough.
