Almond and Quinoa Dinner Rolls

Almond & Quinoa Flour Dinner Bread Roll Recipe

1 Honeyville Blanched Almond Flour
1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Quinoa Flour
3 TBS flax seed meal
1/4 cup dry milk powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
1/4 cup shortening
1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
2 large eggs
2/3 cup plain yogurt (dairy or non-dairy)
2 1/4 Tbs. (1 package) rapid rise or bread machine yeast
Milk or olive oil to brush the tops

Method: Preheat oven to 350º F.

In a large bowl whisk together dry ingredients except yeast. Cut the shortening (should be at room temperature) into small pieces and stir into dry ingredients with a mixer.

In another bowl, mix together the liquid ingredients until combined. Slowly add liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients. Pour in yeast and mix for one minute until yeast is integrated.

Prepare muffin tins or popover trays by oiling with Canola Oil spray.  Scoop equal amounts into each tray and smooth the tops. Brush the tops with milk or egg yolk.  Cover and rise for 20 minutes.  Bake at 350º F convection or 375º F static for 15 minutes, or until set.

This is a great high protein, low sugar bread roll. It’s light, fluffy, and goes well with soups, turkey dinners, and anything else!

Recipe: Gluten-Free Garlic Quinoa Flour Breadsticks

I altered Jules Gluten Free‘s bread stick recipe to have less sugar and use Quinoa flour in addition to her baking flour. I do this because I cannot eat as much sugar or starches as the recipe calls for. Quinoa flour is a very high protein and fiber-rich flour. It has a slight taste of Quinoa, but is undetectable when mixed with Jules All Purpose Flour.

These little goodies were absolutely delicious and fluffy!

Gluten-Free Garlic Quinoa Flour Breadsticks

Preheat oven to 350 F.

3/4 tsp. apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup shortening
2 eggs
1 Tbs yeast
1 cup of plain yogurt
1 cup of Jules All Purpose Flour
1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill Organic Quinoa Flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
crushed fresh garlic (sprinkled on top)
brush with olive oil

Mix together all ingredients until lumps are gone. Dust pastry mat with cornstarch and also dust your hands. Take a small handful of dough and form it into a breadstick shape. Lay the breadsticks on a cookie sheet that has been greased with olive oil. Sprinkle on toppings and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until top is golden brown and the dough has risen.

Pesto, Pear, Chicken Pizza with Quinoa Flour Crust (GF)

Seattle Gluten-Free Pear and Pesto Pizza

Quinoa Flour Crust (GF) Recipe

1 Cup of Quinoa Flour
1/2 Cup of Nearly Normal Gluten-Free Flour Mix
3 Tbs Milk Powder
1/4 tsp Oregano
1/4 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
2 1/2 tsp Yeast
2 eggs
2 Tbs Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup of warm water

Mix together dry ingredients and then wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Then blend the two together with a wooden spoon.

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Grease pizza pan with olive oil. Spoon dough onto pan and sprinkle Quinoa flour on top. Keep sprinkling Quinoa flour until you can press the pizza dough around the pan without it sticking to your fingers and so it’s circular. Use a roller to flatten out the dough evenly. Let pizza dough rise for 20 minutes. Bake pizza crust for 15 minutes, then take the crust out and put on toppings.

Note: I altered Jule’s Gluten-Free Recipe from her Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten-Free Eating Cookbook. I find her flour to be too starchy and gummy, so I use 2 parts Quinoa flour and 1 parts of hers. If you are a Seattle gluten free foodie, Jules Gluten Free all purpose flour is a great way to bake delicious gluten free goodies.
