Whole Wheat Quinoa And Tomato Buns Recipe

Ingredients
* 3 cups whole wheat flour
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 1 tbsp baking powder
* 1 tsp baking soda
* 1 tsp dried oregano
* 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
* 3/4-1 cup cooked and cooled quinoa (about 1/4 cup dry)
* 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
* 1 tbsp flavourful olive oil
* 1 tbsp honey
* 1 2/3 cups vegetable juice (V8)


Directions
1. Preheat oven to 375, lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
2. Mix together flours, baking powder, baking soda, oregano, pepper flakes, quinoa and nutritional yeast in a large bowl.
3. Add in olive oil, honey, and V8.
4. Beat until very well blended, adding a touch of flour or juice as necessary (you want a slightly sticky and soft but workable dough).
5. Flour a kneading surface and turn out.
6. Knead about 10 minutes, until fairly smooth.
7. Allow to rest about 10 minutes.
8. Divide dough into 8 buns (for hamburger-size) or 12 (for dinner rolls), roll into balls and place on the cookie sheets spaced about 2" apart.
9. Score the top of each bun 1-2 times.
10. Bake 25 minutes, then remove to a wire rack and cool completely.
