• Combine milk, 1/4 cup water, shortening, honey, salt and wheat flour in food processor or bowl. Mix in yeast mixture, and let rest 15 minutes. Add bread flour, and process until dough forms a ball. Knead dough by processing an additional 80 seconds in food processor, or mix and knead by hand 10 minutes. Place the dough in a buttered bowl, and turn to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise for 45 minutes, or until almost doubled.
• Punch down, and divide dough in half. Roll out each half, and pound out the bubbles. Form into loaves, and place in buttered 9x5 inch bread pans. Butter the tops of the dough, and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm area until doubled; second rise should take about 30 minutes.
• Place a small pan of water on the bottom shelf of the oven. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

• Bring 1 cup water and quinoa to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until quinoa is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Whisk sourdough starter, milk, honey, olive oil, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cooked quinoa and mix until incorporated. Add flour, 1 cup at a time, mixing after each addition to form long strands of gluten.
• Knead dough for 10 minutes, adding more flour as needed to make dough workable. Set bowl on the counter, cover with a cloth, and let rise until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
• Punch dough down, shape into 2 loaves, and place into well greased and floured baking pans. Wet tops of loaves slightly and press oats into the surface. Cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, 2 to 4 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until loaves sound hollow when you tap on the surface, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit in pans for 5 to 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients in a large bowl or your stand mixer bowl.
• Combine until a loose dough forms. Cover and let sit 30 minutes.
• Knead dough 5 - 10 minutes or until dough is smooth. The dough will still be quite wet. That's ok if you are using a stand mixer. If you are kneading by hand you my need to add a little more flour to keep the dough from sticking. Just add as little as possible as we want to keep this a soft dough.
• Place dough in a greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place, about 2 hours.
• Shape dough and place in a large greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise for an additional 1 - 1½ hours.
• If you are using a regular metal or glass loaf pan bake at 375 degrees for 50 - 55 minutes or until the interior reaches 200 degrees (I use my trusty digital thermometer for this). If you are using an unglazed terra cotta pan (like I do, shown above) follow the directions that come with the pan. For example, I soak the pan in water for 15 minutes and then place the bread in a cold oven, set the temperature to 475 and bake for about 50 minutes.
• When done, remove from pan and let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting. This is important to let the crumb set so you will get nice even slices.
