Heart healthy “whole-wheat quinoa bread” with flax seeds is simply delicious and it was to make! You should give this one a try!
Check my playlist for this developing series of videos and learn along with me as I bake bread recipes from the book Bread Illustrated from America’s Test Kitchen. There are at least 100 recipes in the book and I’m on a mission to bake each of them, in order, and make videos of myself doing it. This is the 19th recipe in the book, “whole-wheat quinoa bread”.
If I can do this, you can do this — learn to bake with me!

You can find the complete recipe beginning on page 110 of the book Bread Illustrated by America’s Test Kitchen (ATK). I’m not affiliated with ATK in any way & won’t receive a penny if you buy their book (or get it from the library!) I just like the book and think baking every recipe in it is going to be a fantastic way to learn & master bread baking.

I don’t narrate this video, there’s only a music track for the audio. Does that mean it’ll trigger your autonomous sensory meridian response ( #ASMR )? I don’t know but please tell me in a comment if it does!
