I love baking savory breads and muffins with delicious Mediterranean flavors, like my Quinoa-keksit or Vegaaniset suolaiset muffinssit but I wanted to make a simple bread full of the same flavors. This bread is loaded with protein and tastes absolutely delicious.
The full recipe is just below, but I have included a ton of additional key info below, like ingredient selection tips, step-by-step pictures, and more!

Suolainen pikaleipä
Ainekset
- 2 kupit Itsekohoava jauho - (huomautus 1)
- 1 kuppi Manteli-maitoa - (huomautus 2)
- ¼ kuppi Maidoton kreikkalainen jogurtti - (huomautus 3)
- ⅓ kuppi Miedon makuinen oliiviöljy - (huomautus 4)
- ½ teelusikka Salt
- ⅛ teelusikka Mustapippuri
Suolaiset täytteet
- ¾ kuppi Keitetty kvinoa - jäähdytetty (huomautus 5)
- ½ kuppi Aurinkokuivatut tomaatit - no added oil, finely chopped
- 1 kuppi Kasvipohjainen cheddarjuusto - (huomautus 6)
- ¼ kuppi Tuoreita basilikan lehtiä - hienoksi pilkottu
täytteet
- 1 ruokalusikka Auringonkukansiemenet
- 1 ruokalusikka Kurpitsansiemeniä
Ohjeet
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch x 5-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Use cooking oil spray to oil the paper and sides of the pan. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add cooked cooled quinoa, yogurt, oil, chopped sundried tomatoes, chopped basil, salt, pepper. Stir a few times to combine.
- Fold in the self-rising flour, almond milk, and dairy-free cheese. Use a rubber spatula to combine and form a smooth cake batter.
- Place the savory batter in the prepared loaf pan, sprinkle the top with seeds.
- Bake the bread for 40-50 minutes at 350°F (180°C) until a long pick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean. After 40 minutes, I recommend adding a piece of foil on top of the pan to prevent the bread from darkening too fast.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then pull the hanging parts of parchment paper to release on a cooling rack.
- Cool for at least 3 hours before slicing. Serve with extra salt, and chili flakes if desired.

You only need a handful of ingredients to make this bread, here’s how I pick them.

- Itsekohoava jauho – This provides the structure and leavening for the bread. I use it for convenience, but you can also make your own (see recipe card). For a gluten-free option, use my gluteeniton muuntaja, mutta älä unohda leivinjauhetta.
- Manteli-maitoa – This adds moisture and lightness. You can also use oat milk for a similar texture, or soy milk for a protein boost. Other plant-based milks like cashew or coconut also work.
- Maidoton kreikkalainen jogurtti – This contributes to the moistness and tanginess of the bread. Coconut or cashew yogurt are good alternatives. If you use dairy, regular Greek yogurt should work.
- Kevyt oliiviöljy – This adds moisture and richness. Canola oil or another neutral oil work just as well. For extra flavor, consider using infused olive oils like garlic or chili.
- Keitetty kvinoa – This boosts the protein and adds a chewy texture. Finely chopped baby spinach is a good substitute, or you can omit it entirely.
- Aurinkokuivatut tomaatit – These add a concentrated savory flavor. I use dry-stored sundried tomatoes. Sun-dried tomatoes in oil can also be used, but drain them well.
- Kasvipohjainen cheddarjuusto – This adds a cheesy flavor. Nutritional yeast or dairy-free feta are good alternatives. If you use feta, watch out for the salt content.
- Tuoreita basilikan lehtiä – These add a fresh flavor. Parsley or coriander are good substitutes to create different flavors.
- Sunflower Seeds & Pumpkin Seeds – These add a crunchy texture and healthy fats. You can also use chia seeds, hemp seeds, or other nuts and seeds.

Let me share a few more tips for a delicious bread.
- Tasainen sekoittaminen – Gently fold the ingredients to prevent overmixing, which can lead to a tough bread.
- Pannun valmistelu – Ensure the parchment paper covers the sides of the pan for easy removal. You’ll just have to pull the overhanging parts!
- Jäähdytysaika – Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
- Siementen sijoittelu – Press the seeds lightly into the top of the batter to prevent them from falling off.
- Makutehostus – Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the dry ingredients for extra savory flavors.
- Kosteustarkistus – If your batter seems too dry, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Warm Serving – Serve the bread slightly warm for enhanced flavor.
- Varastointiratkaisu – Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.








Hi! Could I swap quinoa for lentils? I don’t like the texture of quinoa. Thank you!
Probably, I am sure cooked red lentil will be tasty here.
hello! so this bread doesn’t use any kind of yeast, or baking powder?
No, it has baking powder because the recipe calls for self-rising flour, 1 cup of self-rising flour is 1 cup all-purpose flour with added 2 teaspoon baking powder
Kiitos tämän reseptin jakamisesta!
Can you taste the tomato in this? My boyfriend really dislikes them! If there is a tomato taste…is there a substitute I can use?
Absolutely, you taste it but you can swap for many things like sliced green olives, roasted capsicum, shredded zucchinis – as soon as you squeeze out very well their juice or it will add too much moisture to the bread and it won’t firm up as well.
