This Lentil Bread is simple, high-protein, and made with just three ingredients - it&#39;s fluffy, nutritious, and delicious!

Lentil Bread

350 g Split Red Lentils, uncooked ((1 ¾ cup))

250 g Cottage Cheese ((1 cup))

tbsp Baking Powder

250 ml Water ((1 cup))

Soak the lentils in water for at least 6 hours or overnight until soft.

Drain and rinse the soaked lentils thoroughly.

Add the soaked lentils, cottage cheese, water, and baking powder to a blender or food processor. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Optionally, add in any herbs or seasonings of your choice.

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 2lb loaf pan (approximately 20cm x 10cm) or line it with parchment paper.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Bake for 60 minutes, or until the bread has risen and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the bread to cool completely in the pan before slicing.

I am a ‘seasoned’ home chef. I wanted to love this but if I follow a recipe to a tee with quality ingredients and it’s a fail, I will not be making it again.

Terrible.  It didn't rise.  It's been in the oven for 2 hours and it's still not cooked.  You don't need a cup of water.  Keep searching for a better recipe!  This one isn't it

Unfortunately it didn't work for me. It came out gluggy and tasted of baking soda. I wonder if the recipe could use less baking soda. I had to throw it out.

This bread never really got done, after an hour and 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. It was heavy and unappetizing. I'm wondering if it's because my blender took several minutes to thoroughly blend the lentils, and during that time the baking powder lost its oomf. Maybe adding the baking powder after everything else is smooth would help. Or maybe a couple of eggs in the batter would help.

I made this and thought it was very tasty. My finished product did have a 1/2-inch separation of the ingredients as shown in the picture with a slice on a plate w/butter knife. However, the bottom didn't taste gummy. I soaked as prescribed and used my blender as directed. I will make this again.

Disgusting. It was dense, wet and heavy inside with a rock hard crust. The flavor was blandly unpleasant and slightly bean-y. Inedible. I cut it into chunks and put it out for the squirrels. So far they won’t touch it.

Turned out runny.  Was I supposed to add the water to the blender?

I just made the lentils  bread and it's fantastic. I did not sook my lentil as I do t have time.i washed the lentil added water blend half way I added cottage chess bleded  and added irish butter, blended added spices, thyme,rosemary,basil, turmeric,cinnamon,gloves,salt and I blended again when all became very smooth I added baking powder blended and poured it into my baking pan it was watery a bit but to my amazement it turned out fine fluffy and tasty. Thank so much.

I made it, halved the ingredients and it still fit in a small loaf tin.. I used a halogen oven so hard to gauge the times... it got quite crispy on top but was all mushy in the middle (I put in extra cottage cheese so understandable). I turned it over in the loaf tin after scraping off the top bit... yummmy with paprika garlic butter.

I stirred it so that it would cook more evenly. Added chilli flakes, garlic salt, seeds (put them in the blender - by accident.. would have preferred them intact..Also stirred in loads of Nigella seeds.. some chilli salt.. 

It's cooling now. Obvs it looks messy and rough compared to yours, but I love the taste... It's sort of stodgy but that's what Iike, not too airy fairy inside. I imagine with the seeds scattered it would be better for me.

Also grated some Matured dutch gouda on top. Would have added more grated cheese inside too. 

Tastes good..
