Ingredients: • 200 g red lentils (soak for 4 hours) • 11 g psyllium husk • 45 ml warm water • 1 handful (about 40-50 g) chopped dried apricots • 1 handful (about 40 g) chopped nuts (walnuts or hazelnuts are best, or a mixture is fine) • 1 heaping teaspoon baking powder (about 5-6 g) • 2 tablespoons + 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil (about 25 ml) • A pinch of salt • Spices to taste (turmeric, coriander, cumin, rosemary - optional) Directions: 1. Soak the lentils, then rinse and dry. 2. In a blender, combine the lentils, psyllium husk, water, salt, spices, baking powder, and olive oil. Blend until smooth. 3. Stir in the dried apricots and nuts. 4. Form the bread or round buns (grease your hands with oil), place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 5. Bake at 180°C for about 35-40 minutes, until golden and springy. 6. Cool on a wire rack. Nutrition Profile ✅ Plant Protein: Red lentils are a complete source of slowly digestible protein, high in lysine. The combination with nuts complements the amino acid profile, supports muscle tissue, and promotes postprandial satiety. ✅ Fiber and prebiotic support: Psyllium husk + lentils + dried apricots provide both soluble and insoluble fiber, which: • normalizes peristalsis, • supports the growth of beneficial microflora, • stabilizes glucose levels. ✅ Healthy fats: Olive oil (monounsaturated fats) + walnuts/hazelnuts (alpha-linolenic acid, vitamin E, flavonoids). This fat profile supports hormonal balance, anti-inflammatory properties, and vascular health. ✅ Low glycemic load: Due to the absence of flour and the presence of protein, fiber, and fat, this bread provides a smooth glycemic response and is suitable for insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and anti-aging nutrition. ✅ Antioxidants and micronutrients: Dried apricots (beta-carotene, potassium), nuts (magnesium, zinc, selenium), and spices (turmeric, cumin, coriander) provide a complex of antioxidants and micronutrients involved in regulating metabolism and neutralizing oxidative stress.
