Quinoa whole wheat grain bread

Ingredients

All purpose flour(maida)                  -  1 1/2 cups (can be replaced by whole wheat flour)
Whole wheat flour                            - 1/2 cup
Red Quinoa(toasted & half cooked) - 1/2 cup
salt                                                     -  as per taste
yeast                                                   - 1 tsp
water *                                                - 1/2 to 3/4 cup
Oil of choice                                       - 1 tbsp

* I used water drained from yogurt for mixing the flour.

Directions:

Mix the flour, quinoa, salt and yeast in a bowl. Add water little by little and make it into a soft dough consistency. The dough should not be too dry, add a little flour if too moist. Knead for 2-3 minutes add the oil and keep kneading for another 3 minutes until it is not too sticky to touch.
Close it with a moist cloth and keep in a warm place for about 2 hours or until it doubles.
Grease and flour the baking tray or pan and pre-heat oven to 375 F.
I used a cast iron pan to bake the bread.
Bake until done, mine took about 35-40 minutes.
Turn off the oven and let it rest in the baking rack to cool.
