Quick Quinoa-Buckwheat Skillet Bread (SRC)

Ingredients
  

  • 1/3 cup quinoa flour
  • 1/3 cup buckwheat flour
  • 1/3 cup water
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened almond milk + 1 tsp lemon juice OR 1/3 cup natural yoghurt (use non-dairy options for dairy-free)
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • pinch of sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda, sifted
  • coconut oil, olive oil, butter or ghee for cooking (coconut oil is my fav!)

Instructions
 

  • Use a fork to whisk all ingredients except baking soda. Let batter rest for 5 minutes while you preheat a small [20 cm / 8 in] skillet over medium to medium-low heat (I used medium-low because mine cooked more quickly).
  • Mix sifted baking soda into batter – it should start to bubble. Grease pre-heated pan with a bit of oil/butter, pour in all batter and shake pan slightly.
  • Cook 6-7 minutes. Run spatula around edge, flip carefully, cook 5-6 minutes. Turn out onto rack to cool.
  • Ideas for serving: Slather with butter/Earth Balance or your favorite nut butters and/or jam or jelly. Cut into fingers for an antipasto or cheese platter. Cut in quarters, split like a roll and fill with sandwich fillings – or really any other sandwich ingredient you could imagine.
  • If there is any left store in fridge until needed. It also toasts really well.

Notes

  • Fancy it up: flavour with herbs like oregano and thyme to make it more savory or spices like cinnamon and cloves to sweeten it up.
  • The vegan attempt: JJ tried this without an egg and it just doesn’t work the same way – proceed at your own risk…
  • Make it bigger: Could you? Definitely, just keep the flours/water/yoghurt at a 1:1:1:1 ratio. You can go up to 1/2 cup of each for one egg although I’d increase the baking soda to a slightly heaped tsp. Then just multiply from there as you wish – BUT remember you still have to flip it… so try it out as is in a small skillet before you go too crazy.
