Quinoa-Chocolate Bread

I say that this is the combination of making a delicious, nutritious loaf of bread by using a bread machine
Ingredients:
1 cup cooked quinoa
1/2 cup water
1 egg
2 tsp dry milk powder
1/4 cup chia seeds gel
1 tbs vegetable shortening or oil
1 tsp salt
2 tbs sugar
3 cups bread flour
1 tbs active dry yeast
1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:

All the ingredients must be at room temperature. Using a bread machine, add all the ingredients as listed above except the chocolate chips into bread pan. Select the dough function and press start. At the end of the program, press stop. Remove dough from the machine and let it rest for 5 minutes on a lightly floured surface before hand-shaping.




Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out to a round or rectangular shape (the shape will not matter because it will take the shape of the loaf pan. Place the chocolate chips in the center of the dough and roll up like a jelly roll. Fold both ends of the dough to seal the chocolate chips inside the dough.

Spray a 10" x 6" loaf pan with cooking spray. Drop the shaped dough inside the loaf pan. Spray more cooking oil on top to prevent dough from becoming dry. Cover dough with kitchen towel and let rise in warm place for another 40 minutes or until almost double in size.

Preheat oven to 375 ° and bake bread for 30 minutes. Watch the bread at 10 minutes before the baking is finished, and use foil to cover bread to prevent it from further browning.
What a beautiful loaf of bread!
