    Easy Quinoa Skillet Bread

    Published: Jan 27, 2022 · Modified: May 11, 2022

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Quinoa is a versatile grain that has been used in South America for centuries. It can be made into a good breakfast cereal, or as a side dish with meats and vegetables. When blended with flour, it makes a hearty quinoa skillet bread that tastes great on its own or served with your favorite toppings.

    I make an attempt at making rustic quinoa skillet bread. It took a number of tries to get it perfect, despite the fact that it was a rather basic concept. My first attempt was a disaster, and by that I mean it was nothing like I had envisioned. It was flat, dense, unsightly, and so forth. The second time around, though, more than made up for my first blunder.

    Quinoa Skillet Bread

    Ingredients

    • butter to grease pan, about 1 tablespoon
    • 1 cup / 4 oz / 115g whole wheat pastry flour
    • ¾ cup / 4 oz / 115 g yellow cornmeal (coarse)
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ½ teaspoon baking soda
    • ½ teaspoon dried mixed herbs (optional)
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 ½ cups / 7 oz / 200 g cooked quinoa, room temperature*
    • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, barely melted and cooled a bit
    • 3 tablespoons natural cane sugar (or brown sugar)
    • ¾ teaspoon fine grain sea salt
    • 2 cups / 475 ml milk
    • 1 ½ tablespoons white or white wine vinegar
    • 1 cup / 240 ml heavy cream

    Directions

    1. Preheat the oven to 350F / 180 C degrees and place a rack in the top third. Butter a 10-inch oven-proof skillet (or equivalent baking dish). I used a cast-iron pan with 2-inch deep sides. Roughly ten minutes before you are ready to bake the skillet bread, while you are mixing the batter, place the skillet in the hot oven.
    2. In a large bowl stir together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and dried herbs.
    3. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, quinoa, and melted butter until well-blended. Add the sugar, salt, milk and vinegar and stir again. Then add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir just until the batter comes together. It will seem very thin, don't worry.
    4. Pour the batter into the heated skillet. Pour the heavy cream into the center of the batter. Have faith, and do not stir. Carefully place in the oven and check after 45 minutes, the skillet bread is done when the top becomes lightly browned and the center just set. Somewhere between 45-60 minutes typically. I like to finish things up with a few seconds under the broiler to brown the top nicely. You can serve this I like this warm or at room temperature, sliced in a grid, sprinkled with a touch more salt (if needed).

    Makes one 10 ½ skillet.

    *To cook a sizable pot of quinoa: Combine 2 cups / 12 oz / 340 g of
    well-rinsed (dried) quinoa with 3 cups / 700 ml water and ½ teaspoon
    fine grain sea salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover,
    reduce heat and simmer for 25 - 30 minutes or until quinoa is tender
    and you can see the little quinoa curliques. Fluff with a fork.

    Quinoa grain is highly high in fibre, making quinoa skillet bread an excellent alternative for daily fibre consumption. It has far more fibre than other grains and is also a wonderful cleanse food!
