Healthy Lentil Bread Recipe
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Soak the Lentils
Soak the lentils: Place 250 grams of lentils in a large bowl and cover with 700 ml of water. Let the lentils soak for 8 hours or overnight. This helps soften the lentils and makes them easier to blend into a smooth batter.
Drain and rinse: After soaking, drain any excess water and rinse the lentils under cold water.
2. Blend the Lentils
Add water: After rinsing, transfer the soaked lentils to a blender or food processor. Add 100 ml of fresh water to the lentils.
Blend until smooth: Blend the lentils until you achieve a smooth, even consistency. Ensure there are no large pieces left in the mixture.
Incorporate olive oil: While blending, gradually pour in 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This adds moisture and helps bind the bread dough.
