Recipe by Jo_jo_ba: Whole Wheat Quinoa And Tomato Buns/saved
It's a good flavored bun with nice heat that wasn't objectionable. Buns are a little heavy, but expected because of the whole wheat flour. Think I would do a 50/50 split on the wheat to white flours next time just to make them rise a little more and be a little lighter.
They did rise a lot as you can see by the photo. I scored an "X" in the top of the dough balls. And also added a tsp of Vital Wheat Gluten per cup of whole wheat flour.
Believe I'll make some gravy made out of some veggie juice for in the morning. They should pair up nicely.
I like the technique of kneading the dough to form some gluten even though there is no active yeast in the mix.

How many did you get, pso? It looks like an interesting combination of ingredients for a hamburger bun. I've never thought of a spicy bun for a hamburger but it sounds like a good idea. I haven't gotten around to trying quinoa yet.

Don't even think I could taste the quinoa. Made 8 buns.
And I'm not sure why I needed to use 2 baking sheets, especially when the buns are spaced 2" apart. Think I could have made due with one sheet.
Quinoa should be a good replacement for rice. It's cooked the same way. The nutritional yeast has a nice flavor to it. It can be used to sprinkle over a lot of foods, including popcorn. It has a cheesy salty taste.

Those look good! Could you tell the quinoa was in it, like chewy little pieces?

Absolutely not. But I could see them in the texture. Probably depends on how long the quinoa is simmered as to how chewy the pieces are. I only simmered for 20 minutes and was worried that they would be little chewy pieces but they were not.
