Step 1.
Add the quinoa to a large bowl and cover with cold water. Cover bowl and chill overnight.

Step 3.
Drain the quinoa and combine with the olive oil, chia seeds, millet, tahini, bicarbonate of soda, salt and vinegar in a mixing bowl, stirring thoroughly.

Transfer the mixture to the lined loaf tin, smoothing the top flat. Sprinkle the sunflower seeds on top.
