LENTIL BREAD & Lentil Cake with Cheese and Herbs Recipe

Instructions

Lentil Bread

1. Preheat the oven to 180 C (355 F) on upper and lower heat without a fan.
2. Wash the lentils well and soak in water for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, for them to expand and soften.
3. Sieve the lentils and add them to the food processor. Pulse until it becomes a puree.
4. Transfer some pureed lentils to a bowl then add the yogurt, eggs, baking powder, salt, and olive oil into the processor. If your food processor is big enough to mix all ingredients there is no need to take out some of the lentil purees.
5. Mix all ingredients (including the puree in the bowl) in the food processor and pulse until everything is smooth.
6. Oil the tray with olive oil and pour the mixture into the tray.
7. Sprinkle some nigella and sesame seeds.
8. Place the tray into the oven and bake it for 35 minutes.
9. Rest for about 30 minutes to cool and eat with loved ones.
