Lentil Flour Bread

Ingredients:

Name	Metric	US
Lentil Flour	160 gr	1 cup	Making lentil flour at home is a great way to ensure freshness and control the texture of the flour for your recipes. Place a small amount of lentils in the coffee grinder. Grind in short bursts, checking the texture frequently, until the lentils are ground into a fine flour. You might need to do this in batches if your grinder is small.
Whole Psyllium Husk	40 gr	1/2 cup	I recommend that you use blond psyllium husk, as it won’t give any color to your gluten free bakes. Using other types of psyllium husk can sometimes result in your bread being darker in color (either brown or with a slightly purple-ish tinge). Psyllium acts as a binder in this recipe. It adds gluten-like structure, tenderness and elasticity.
Water	240 ml	1 cup
Eggs	2	2
Olive Oil	15 ml	1 tbsp	Any mild-flavored oil, such as extra virgin sunflower oil, grapeseed oil, or avocado oil, will do.
Baking Soda	6 gr	1 tsp	Because these red lentil bread rolls contain no yeast, baking soda acts as a leavening agent.
Salt	6 gr	1 tsp	You don’t have to use salt, but the bread will taste quite bland. Be creative, add any of your favorite spices and herbs.
Apple Cider Vinegar / Lemon Juice	15 ml	1 tbsp	Baking soda needs an acidic ingredient to produce carbon dioxide. The small bubbles of carbon dioxide gas become trapped in the dough, causing it to rise.

	30 gr / 2 tbsp Seed Mix (Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds) for topping
	3 gr / 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
	3 gr / 1/2 tsp Oregano

	Blender
	Loaf pan 8.5in x 4.5in / 21.5cm x 11.5cm

Preheat your oven to 350°F / 180°C and grease a loaf pan with oil or line it with parchment paper.
If using whole lentils, grind them in a blender or coffee grinder until finely ground.
In a large bowl, mix together the Lentil Flour ( 160 gr ) and Salt ( 6 gr ).
To the bowl with the Lentil Flour, add the Water ( 240 ml ), Vegetable Oil ( 15 ml ) and Eggs (2). Stir until combined.
Add Psyllium Husk ( 40 gr ) and mix well. Let the mixture sit for about 15 minutes to allow the dough to swell.
Stir in the Baking Soda ( 6 gr ) and Vinegar ( 15 ml ) into the dough mixture until fully incorporated.
Transfer the dough into a greased baking pan. Smooth the top and make an incision along the middle if desired. Sprinkle with Seeds if using.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the bread has a golden-brown crust.
Transfer bread to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your homemade lentil flour bread!
