Lentil Bread #recipe

Ingredients for ~ 10-12 slices: • 400g red lentils (from dry) (~2 cups) • 2 tbsp baking powder • 60ml oil (1/4 cup) • 5g salt (~1 tsp) 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 food processor . 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. Tip: I love to bake a slice of my lentil bread into the air fryer for 5-6mins at 180C, I think it taste even better and it makes a little flavoursome crust which I think is taste so unique! Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days/ a week. It freeze well: defrost at room temperature and when you are ready to eat it I would recommend popping in the oven or air fryer for a few minutes
