4-Ingredient Lentil Bread (Gluten-Free, Easy, No Yeast)

Servings 12 slices
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour
Soaking 8 hours
Total Time 9 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 400 g red lentils from dry
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 60 ml oil
  • 5 g salt

Instructions
 

  • The night before, add the lentils to a bowl and add water in it so the lentils are completely submerged. Leave it to soak overnight.
  • Rinse the lentils well under water, use a sieve. Let the water drain completely. Make sure to remove the water completely.
  • Once all the water has drained off, add the lentil into the large bowl of @Magimixuk food processor (mine is 3200XL), it takes second with this machine. Then add oil, baking powder and salt.
  • Blitz, scrape the sides with a spatula if necessary and blitz again. When you reach the consistency you see in the video, transfer the lentil mix into a baking tin (with baking paper in it).
  • I added a sprinkle of sesame seeds too, but this is optional.
  • Bake at 180C for 55mins to 1 hour. Once it is ready transfer the bread onto a cooling rack and let it cool down.
  • I used this bread almost every day the past weeks, I love it! I hope you will too.
