Basic Ingredients
- 1 lbs red lentils
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 pack instant yeast (about 7 g)
- Salt, to taste (optional)
- Soak lentils: Rinse the red lentils thoroughly and place them in a large bowl. Cover with plenty of water and soak overnight to soften and reduce cooking time.
- Drain and blend: After soaking, drain and rinse the lentils well. Add them to a blender along with 3/4 cup water, 1/4 cup olive oil, and salt if using. Blend on high speed until you achieve a smooth batter.
- Add yeast: Add the instant yeast to the lentil batter and pulse a few times to mix it in evenly without over-blending.
- Prepare for baking: Pour the batter into a greased bread mold or loaf pan. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes at room temperature to let the yeast activate.
- Bake the bread: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the bread mold inside and bake for 40 minutes until the crust is lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool completely in the mold before slicing to preserve its texture.

- You may add herbs or spices to the batter for additional flavor.
