-
1/2
cup quinoa flour

cup olive oil

zest
of one lemon
-
1
tablespoon fresh lemon juice

- Adjust oven rack to center position and preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a standard-sized loaf pan, paying attention to corners and creases at bottom of the pan.
- Sift dry ingredients together in a large bowl; set aside.
- Whisk wet ingredients together until emulsified. Fold in the dry ingredients until just incorporated and few lumps remain.
- Immediately pour into prepared loaf pan and set in the center of the oven rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until edges are golden brown and starting to pull away from the pan. *Do not open your oven until at least 30 minutes have passed, and even then, if you must, only open it a teensy little crack.*
- Allow to cool for 30 minutes on a rack before removing from the pan. Slice and serve when completely cooled.

This has a lovely, sweet-savory taste. I like the lemon flavors! I subbed fresh rosemary for the thyme because I had it on hand, and I added two eggs for texture. The dough was clay like as written , and I was concerned the texture would be more like a biscuit. It was moist and flavorful!
