Step 1

Soak the lentils for at least 2 hours or overnight in a large bowl with plenty of water. Then, rinse and drain them well.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking pan with parchment paper. Mine loaf pan is wider on top and measures about 20 x 9 cm/8" x 3.5" at the bottom and 23 x 12 cm/9" x 5" on the top.

Step 3

Place all ingredients for the lentil bread in a food processor. Blend for several minutes until everything is well mixed and sticks together. You may need to scrape down the sides from time to time.

Step 4

Put the bread dough in a large bowl. Slightly press it between your hands until a well combined dough is formed. You can dip your hands in water if it is too sticky.

Step 5

After that, shape the dough into a loaf and place it in the baking pan. Sprinkle some sesame seeds on top.

Step 6

Bake for about 45 mins. Let the bread cool slightly before slicing it. Enjoy!
