Pâine rapidă sărată
Ingrediente
- 2 cupe Făină auto-crescătoare - (nota 1)
- 1 ceaşcă Lapte de migdale - (nota 2)
- ¼ ceaşcă Iaurt grecesc fără lactate - (nota 3)
- ⅓ ceaşcă Ulei de măsline cu aromă blândă - (nota 4)
- ½ linguriță Sare
- ⅛ linguriță Piper negru
Umpluturi savuroase
- ¾ ceaşcă Quinoa gătită - cooled (note 5)
- ½ ceaşcă Rosii uscate la soare - no added oil, finely chopped
- 1 ceaşcă Plant-Based Cheddar Cheese - (nota 6)
- ¼ ceaşcă Frunze proaspete de busuioc - mărunțită fin
Topping-uri
- 1 lingură Seminte de floarea soarelui
- 1 lingură Seminte de dovleac
Instrucțiuni
- 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.

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

- Făină auto-crescătoare – 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 convertor fără gluten, dar nu uitați de praful de copt.
- Lapte de migdale – 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.
- Iaurt grecesc fără lactate – 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.
- Ulei de măsline ușor – 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.
- Quinoa gătită – This boosts the protein and adds a chewy texture. Finely chopped baby spinach is a good substitute, or you can omit it entirely.
- Rosii uscate la soare – 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.
- Plant-Based Cheddar Cheese – This adds a cheesy flavor. Nutritional yeast or dairy-free feta are good alternatives. If you use feta, watch out for the salt content.
- Frunze proaspete de busuioc – 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.
How to Make Savory Quick Bread
This is a really easy bread loaf recipe, here’s how to make it in pictures.

Chop the sundried tomatoes and basil leaves on a chopping board.

Combine the cooked quinoa, dairy-free yogurt and chopped veggies in a bowl.

Incorporate the flour, almond milk, and dairy-free cheese and combine to form a dough.

Transfer to a baking pan and bake the bread for 40-50 minutes at 350 °F (180 °C).
Sfaturile de copt ale lui Carine
Let me share a few more tips for a delicious bread.
- Chiar și Mixarea – Gently fold the ingredients to prevent overmixing, which can lead to a tough bread.
- Preparare tigaie – Ensure the parchment paper covers the sides of the pan for easy removal. You’ll just have to pull the overhanging parts!
- Timp răcire – Allow the bread to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from crumbling.
- Plasarea semințelor – Press the seeds lightly into the top of the batter to prevent them from falling off.
- Stimularea aromei – Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the dry ingredients for extra savory flavors.
- Verificarea umidității – If your batter seems too dry, add a tablespoon of almond milk at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Servire caldă – Serve the bread slightly warm for enhanced flavor.
- Soluție de stocare – Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to maintain freshness.








Great glutenfree website. Good on you Carine
Thank you so much! Not all my recipes are naturally gluten-free, but you can always use my convertor fără gluten for any of my recipes.
This looks so good! I’m wondering if this would also work in a bread machine. Any reason you know of not to try this way? Just thought I’d ask ahead of time so I don’t waste my ingredients. Thank you!
I don’t have a bread machine so I can’t recommend on baking time with it. I guess it could work.
Hi, the taste is very good but my bread is too compact. Isn’t it needed to add baking soda or yeast? Thank you
I suspect you didn’t use self-rising flour, but flour instead! Self-rising flour contains 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder per cup of self-rising flour, that’s why the bread is fluffy and raise.
Love it and going to try it this week!
How do you cook quinoa? Can you tell us how much dry quinoa is needed to get 3/4 cooked quinoa?
Mersi
1/4 cup of dry quinoa would yield 3/4cup of cooked quinoa. Quinoa swells times three, ex. 1C dry quinoa equals 3C cooked quinoa.
This is written on the quinoa package, or read my article here on how to cook quinoa.
Carine, this sounds like a fun and delicious recipe. Is there any ingredient that can be used to replace the oil?
I haven’t tried yet, usually veggie puree like sweet potato puree or pumpkin puree could work. But it also add moisture and the bread won’t be as fluffy.
Can I use Almond Flour for gluten free option? Adding Baking powder?
It won’t work at all with almond flour, the bread will never form up. I didn’t try a all-purpose gluten-free flour yet, so I can’t recommend. Feel free to experiment with all-purpose gluten-free flour.
I want to make this recipe, but 65g quinoa is this cooked or uncooked?
As mentionned in the recipe card, the recipe use cooked quinoa.
How can I make this gluten free please?
I haven’t tried a gluten-free version, some all-purpose gluten-free blend deliver decent result sometimes. Feel free to experiment.
Hi! Can you use a muffin tin instead of a loaf pan?
I am pretty sure it will work well in a 12 muffin pan lined with oiled paper liners. Enjoy.
