This looks delicious. I will have to try this.
My kids would eat a bread like this one. I’m going to aim to make some kind of multi-grain soon; maybe I’ll try adding the quinoa. I often add molasses to a multi-grain. Yum, I see your recipe has oatmeal, too. Maybe I should try it as you wrote it…
Baroness,
Well, I learned about basil bread from you. In fact, I think I’ll make some again very soon. It was really popular around here.
Leora,
My youngest, and my mother, both loved this bread. Yes, please do try it, then let me know!
Quinoa bread – fantastic! I’ve never heard of using quinoa in this way but I love the idea – getting the goodness too hopefully. I always struggle to use quinoa, I just don’t love it as much as other grains but this i could go for.
Helen,
Quinoa hasn’t been my best-loved grain either, but recently I’ve been regarding it with more and more favor. I think that in the past I only ever ate quinoa that hadn’t been very well rinsed, and so was bitter. Plus it was cooked up with too much water: mushy. Yech.
To serve it as I would rice, I use 1 1/2 times the amount of water as grain. Because I wanted it to become very soft and “disappear” into the crumb, I used 2 times the water for this bread.
Quinoa bread?! This I gotta try, right now we do spelt bread. Hubby loves quinoa. wish me luck!
Luck, Miriam…but it’s not a hard recipe. I just made toasted cheese sandwiches for Daughter to take to school, using this bread. And put a poached egg over a slice for breakfast, this morning – and sent Husband off to work with this bread for his sandwiches too. A loaf goes fast in this house. It’s a satisfying feeling, knowing your family is getting multi-grain bread from your own hands.
Mr. BT made this bread and it was delicious. He made it with cooked quinoa.
Oh, good. I think the soft texture of cooked quinoa is better in bread. Glad you liked it, Baroness.
I think I’ll be baking some of your basil bread this week.

Mimi, as you can see from the pingback, I made the bread. I used all white flour (though I was tempted to put in a bit of whole wheat, but I resisted for my first try), and it was delicious. Took a while, but my whole family ate it!
This looks like a great recipe – can I make it in my breadmaker? CAN I use part whole wheat flour?
Janet, I’ve never used a breadmaker in my life! I don’t see why not, though I imagine there are standard adjustments that have to be made between breadmaker and conventional recipes.
You can certainly substitute part or all whole wheat flour for the white. Just keep in mind that ww flour absorbs more water than white, so add more water by tablespoons till you’re satisfied that your dough is pliable.
