A new staple bread in town. There is no replacement for a good sourdough, but this quick bread is a great alternative to the traditional soda bread or porridge bread doing the rounds. The nuttiness of the quinoa is just beautiful and also creates a unique tender but crumbly texture.
It’s incredibly easy to make, obviously key, toasts up wonderfully and is the perfect dunker for a bowl of soup and just as mighty an option for lathering up with peanut butter or ripe buttery avocado.
